Children's Illustration Commission Progress (Patreon)

     Here's the current state of the neglected-broccoli children's illustration.  I may not look like much has changed, so I've included previous stages for comparison. Most of the leaves are done or nearly done, and everything--even the dirt--is taking on more of a sense of weight and reality. The foreground is the biggest hurdle; the old farmer and the rest of the background won't take nearly as long. Of course, it would all be proceeding much more quickly if I could still be painting, instead of doing it all with colored pencils. But that would mean not hanging out in here all day with my furry, feral new friend.  (He's doing better, by the way. His digestive trouble cleared up with a probiotic, and his fur is filling in. He still resents me for refusing to let him out, I think, but he also snuggles up to me when he thinks I'm asleep. Fingers crossed...)
