Hi,
Sorry it has been some time between my last post. December was a busy month with work, drawing, and vacationing to my home state of California. I work for the USPS as a rural carrier associate (RCA), and because of the mass volume of parcels and letters, I worked many days with long hours. Then we traveled to California to visit family and friends for Christmas and New Years. Before we left, I filled any remaining time taking care of my own family and drawing a few commissioned portraits.
For one of my commissioned portrait, I was asked to draw a 5" x 7" portrait of a young boy for a Christmas gift. The original photo was small, and did not show the detail that help capture the true character of a person. I knew I could still produce a well drawn portrait and I believe I did. What a cute kid.

The new year is here and life will gradually get back to normal. I have already finished my first pencil portrait and working on my second. These portraits I will blog about later, for if I share everything on one blog I will not have anything else to blog.
My last blog was about drawing another nature object, and this has been put on the shelf, literally, to draw another time. I believe I got ahead of myself when I had time on my hands. Thank you to those who kept me busy. I would rather draw a meaningful commissioned portrait than draw a rock for myself.
Cute kid and very nice drawing too. I like you even better now that I know you're a rural mail carrier. I don't know if you saw my post back in December about our very favorite mailman (my father-in-law.) here's the link in case you're interested:

A belated happy new year to you!
