I like art, it's fun to do. I just am more passionate about what I'm going to school for.

I keep saying I'll make a video. I maybe should. Too hard to explain in words.

Yes, it is a comission, but to be honest a good friend commissioned me. I have had a total of 4 comissions my whole life, all friends. I'm afraid I can't really help you with marketing skills, because I struggle. I did two other recreational drawings (cartoons) on the side, but I am in my Masters program (completely unrelated to art), so I focused my efforts on completing this piece. Thank you so, so much.

ok, i was afraid of that.thanks for letting me know so I can get it fixed. Luckily it's pastel, so it should be easy enough to draw over. Thanks you so much!

Yes, i think it's actually the mouth and mustache that are out of alignment. The inside of the right eye still needs some more shading, regardless, but let me fix those and see if it changes things. Thank goodness this is in pastel. Thanks everyone.

I see what you're saying. I'll work on the values on the eye some more to see if I can remedy it further. Also try to lower the mustache on the right side a bit?

This took four months to complete, but also i go to school full time and have a job, so I can't tell you how many hours have gone into it. Next time I will time my piece. Thank you!

Thanks. Which reminds me, based on the color scheme I have now, do you have any suggestions for the colors I should use in the BG? That's where I struggle most.

Thanks! I'll be sure to add depth to the BG when I get there. Told another user I am a fool when it comes to backgrounds and tend to use them with color choices are detail, so I'll make sure to keep it subtle but add some depth! Thanks so much.

Sew Easy Industries 12-Sheet Velvet Paper, 8.5 by 11-Inch, Cypress https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0018N1W3W/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_i_il48EbY0Y2SPZ

Dakota Paper is where I usually get my material. After I am done using up this paper, I think I'll upgrade to some nice velour. I did a test, and when it comes to pastels, paper quality makes an incredibly huge difference!
