'Wife and Husband' - 2013 - (pastel drawing)
©2013 *Stevegillettart
Here is the completed commission drawing of a wife and husband on their wedding day in 1973. This is my 2nd attempt at doing it.
The 1st attempt was done in colour pencil and went wrong when i was doing the husbands face after I was about 18 hours into it. I then decided to start again and do it in pastels instead of pencil which I'm much happier with, even though I have spent 30 hours on it (48 hours approx on both).
This is my first EVER attempt at drawing a picture in pastels as all my previous colour drawings have been in pencil. I really enjoyed using the pastels and will definitely be using them again.
Please let me know what you think.
