Illustration Friday’s topic this week is Wedding. Usually when I participate in IF I create something new. I love the creative process of coming up with a concept for an illustration that is fresh, unique, and not the first thing anyone would think of (e.g. Paris = Eiffel Tower = trite). The second fun part is imagining and visualizing the image and then bringing it to life with pen and paint.
But this week I couldn’t resist posting this wedding portrait I did a couple years ago for my friends Matt and Margot, especially since this month is their anniversary and they’re expecting their first child in less than a month. Congratulations M&M!
This is great! I love it!
wonderful portrait! nice work and it looks as if you’ve really captured their personalities
WHAT A BEAUTIFULLY DONE PORTRAIT!!! WOWZA! Those shades on the bride’s gown are jaw-dropping awesome!! BRAVA! Your friends must have been thrilled!
Very well done!
What a special painting it is beautiful! The skin color and the postures look so natural. Nice work!
great expressions.. You can see their happiness and personalities coming through.
Was just going to say: Missing you on Illo Friday, but then, here I see one!! And a really wonderful piece it is!
Wow, the skin tones are amazing!
