Sketch Commission - Concept to Completion

Here's a few images of a recent commission I've been working with a very nice gentleman from NY. He wanted to surprise his wife with a drawing of her and their two kids. I thought I'd post here the intial concepts I drew up for him, then the final piece.

What he was looking for was a family together scene with his wife and kids. So I drew up some ideas based on a few photos he sent me....


He liked the blowing bubble ideas and set out to get some photos of his daughter. He came back with a fun idea with his daughter hoola hooping instead, so I drew this up....

He liked the concept so I set to create the final piece and here it is....
