Grand Grand ... dad ... .. .

Post by PogArtTi »

I was asked for commission by workmate, I have refused, but he made me curious what is it about...
After he told me the story of his grand grand dad that went missing on the front of the First Wold War - I decided to help him.
For free of course 😉
My friend is collecting memories, to build up the Family Tree...
I'm very happy to help.

The size of the drawing he requested is very small, to be honest it's first time I'm drawing onto such small piece of paper.
4"x6" 😉

The reference is the only picture he has.
I'll do my best.

I started off blocking the background.
The progress is very fast, lol 😁
I think I'll enjoy it a lot 😉

Today is my day off so I carried on some blocking in to shape the face.
It's weird drawing, because of the reference photo...
But I'm trying 😊😊😊

This is short update of the latest progress - eyes placed, so it shouldn't look weird anymore 😉

Good progress. Only one thing to mention so far..... and I'm far too late :)

If you draw right to the edge, it becomes almost impossible to frame. Just saying... :roll: ;)

Thank you a lot 😊

Thank you - I'm aware 😉
This is small drawing 4"x6" and it's going into larger show frame, to rest between some other memorable medals🏅, and badges.
My friend is collecting memorable items, and building up the Family Tree 🎄.
Thank you Mike.

What an interesting project! It’s nice of you to help your friend with this. You’re capturing that look of a very young man who has seen too much in his short life.

Yes... true 😯
I'm not drawing for a week, because I'm on late shifts ...
I'm really missing this drawing.
I'm looking forward to get back to it 😊
Thank you...

Miniature art is a lot of fun! The real trick is to remember that just because it is small doesn't mean that the detail and time spent in not as involved as a larger work. Sometimes a good miniature can take longer than a larger work!
This piece of yours is going well and I look forward to seeing it progress further.
btw... now I kinda want to see your ink in better detail! It looks rather good skin art.
