It has been a while since I posted progress on this commissioned portrait, but I have been working on it all along, time permitting. The first step was figure drawing, getting the positions of all four kids in the right place. This took a while, and there were lots of mistakes along the way, and each time I made major changes, in the figures, I had to rework the faces too. So the likenesses came and went with each change. Once I was pretty happy with the figures, I started to concentrate more attention on the faces, and after lots more changes, I am finally getting there with all four faces. This is still rough, but I feel like it is on track. I held off posting progress on this until I was reasonably happy with the faces, but now I am, so here it is.
