Usually it’s so easy to draw Angelina Jolie or any other Hollywood star. They all have professional photos with perfect light, well detailed. Every artist expect to commission these kind of photos. But what are you’re going to do when your client has a picture token with a normal camera, in a normal environment, and low resolution?.. well, it’s normal.
And they like that picture very much, they have wonderful memories attached, they are really in love with it. You have to improve and to try your best to recreate those feelings and make it look good. And this is what I tried to do with this commission, and the client was very delighted.
This portrait arrived safety far far away in Canada to Steven.
