Children's Illustration Commission (WIP) (Patreon)

     Something very different this week. I'm doing a commission of a sample children's illustration, depicting a sad, "left out" sprout of broccoli. I posted the most recent stage  as the main image, because the first few steps are so faint they're barely visible in the scans, even after "bringing them out" in Photoshop.  (Actually, the very first stage isn't even shown here. A faint sketch in a hard-lead pencil, the remnants of it are still visible in the first few steps, if you look really hard for the farmer in the background.) You can see that different parts of the image are at different stages of painting--some have their warm washes, some are still just at the cool stage, etc. You'll see it all take shape in further posts...
