Wedding Portrait

 2013

pencils

My very first wedding portrait. It was definitely a challenge and I took my time. At one point the progress was literally twenty minutes of drawing, five minutes of laying on the floor and staring at the wall, fiveteen minutes of drawing, five minutes on the floor and so on. This piece was very detailed and the size of the drawing little bit smaller than A3, so only in 1x1cm there could be so much stuff to be drawn. The hardest part of this piece would be the trees and the way they're supposed to seem blurry. I still look back to this drawing and think of the ways I could have done differently. This piece was a excellent lesson when it comes to different textures, light and working with the background. I enjoyed the progress and as I finished this piece about two weeks ago, there was a certain relief. Even thought you want to finish something, you start to miss the journey when it's gone. I had spent so much time with this that it felt kind of strange to realize it was done and that it was time to start working on something new.
