Illustration Portrait
I was recently commissioned to do a portrait of a client’s son and his father, which was super exciting for me. I love doing portraits, but most of my projects are more business related then personal related. I would actually love to do more portraits and am looking forward to expanding into that direction. Portraits are much more personal and I love how happy a client is when they see the end product – how I’ve captured a look, personality and mood!
This client suggested a soccer portrait, and since his son was still a young baby I thought it would be cute if he was cradling the ball. I wanted to create an open and serene mood, something with color, but not too much color. He gave me a handful of photos for reference and I created a sketch of the scene and took it to color in Illustrator. And here’s what I came up with! He loved it, btw – and I am so happy!
