I started a new commissioned piece for my buddy Phil. It's a Christmas present so I have to knock it out on a pretty tight deadline but so far I'm making good progress. I started with a base drawing to layout all the forms but didn't get too crazy with the details or shading, I'll save that for the actual painting.
After the drawing I did a brown rub on top to unify everything all the paint that will follow. The portrait is of 3 people who have passed away so I thought the brown sepia tone would help give the piece a aged quality . The next day once the wash was dry I did my 1st pass with paint. I tried to get a good base on all the skin tones, and blocked in the eyes and the clothing.
