Here are the steps on how I did the portrait.
As usual I drew my grid lines and made my sketch then started shading it gradually. Sometimes I usually start some of my portraits from the hair, but in his case I started with the cap before going up to the eyes and other features of the face since there's no hair. This is to helps me work downward and from left to right before moving down to the clothing. I do this to avoid smudging the part I may have already worked on. I really took my time to include everything in detail. Making sure nothing was left out since I was told that my client will really appreciate an excellent work. And I know myself. I know I'm always committed to excellence regardless of who my client may be.
I myself love how I went about detailing the man's face and the woman clothe.
The details on the clothing was so difficult. I had to sit down and pay attention to every detail.
This portrait makes it the second time I'm drawing lace design clothing this year. lace are always lovely when the finishing is done, but look difficult when starting.
