1920 Gangsters

Materials: graphite pencils on Strathmore Bristol Smooth paper, 11 x 14 inch.
Reference: client photo + stock

This drawing was more like an illustration. The only reference that I had from the client was their head. The rest of the body I had to invent it or use several references from internet. It was very interesting to draw this, even if I almost didn’t knew how it will look like in the end. But seams like it toured out nice and they look like some real gangsters from 1920, as they wished.
No, her abdomen is not wrong she is waiting for a baby, so I had to make the hole family. Seams like there are 3 gangsters and not 2

Old times

Materials: graphite pencils on Strathmore Bristol Smooth paper, 11×14 inch. Reference: client photo

This drawing is so far the most interesting I have done. The photo reference was a simple one, with this young couple sitting on a table and having fun. I changed their clothes and gave them a victorian look. So all the environment has changed, and they travelled through time some ages ago receiving a new style. For sure that from now on I’ll make more portraits like this.

Cornel – pencil portrait commission

By jullia in Commissions, My gallery

Materials: graphite and carbon pencils on Strathmore Bristol Smooth paper, 11×14 inch. Reference: client photo

Hi everyone!
I’ve just finished a new commission. This time I used some carbon pencils for the glasses. The effect turned out really nice. The carbon is not shining like the graphite, and so it gives a pop-up effect. Here is a photo, so you can understand what I mean.

La fierarie – Pum Boem 2 / The forge Pub 2

By jullia in Commissions, My gallery

This is the new version of the posters for the Pub Boem “La Fierarie” (in translation: The Forge Pub). The new concept is based on 3 continues posters, as shown bellow. They will be posted separately but also 2 by 2 or all 3 together (depends on event presentation). There are white areas for personalization. There will be informations about the new concerts, events that take place in there. If you want to see more about these events visit their web La Fierarie

I worked a lot to these posters to complete. Except the hammer (which is from the previous poster) and the horse (which you already know from one of my old drawings) I made most of the drawing with no references. I used Arches hot-press paper. First time when I use it, and I can say that I really like it. It’s not very smooth as I used to work with, but it suited perfectly for this drawing.

Bellow is the flyer obtained from uniting these 3 posters.
