FINISHED!! I cannot believe I finished this in 2 days
Well, I did stay up just now for 24 hours straight and drew for the majority of those hours... so technically you could say I did this in the equivalent of 3 days since I usually only stay up for about 14 hours each day, and those hours I would have normally spent sleeping were spent drawing I have not even eaten in about 17 hours so I could dedicate more time to this! However, even though I thought I had to finish it by tonight because the dude's wife's birthday is tomorrow, he decided to postpone picking it up until early tomorrow but it's ok, because I got it done sooner and now I can just chill. I had to finish it so quick because for a few days of having the reference, I was sick and could not start because I was in bed all day and night. Anyway, this one was cool because the babies in the reference photo were really far apart from each other, so I just scooted them closer because I thought it would work better. The customer also did not want the original background so I just colored in dark since the original background was really dark anyway. I hope you guys like it and I hope it's redemption from my last commission. This was completed with charcoal pencil, mechanical pencil, General's B pencil, Artist's Loft pens, kneaded eraser, pencil eraser, and blending stumps on Strathmore bristol.
I am now going to ice my hand, drink a Pepsi, eat something, and finally go to sleep....
Did you use the charcoal for the background? It's a great black!
Now go catch up on some sleep!
