Updates

I got some work done on "Angelic," I'm really going to push to get it done by the end of the week. Though I really don't want to rush it. I'm working on some of the background right now, before I finish the figure. I don't want the background to look rushed, especially if the figure looks good. I get the paper cut down, and the border laid in. It's looking closer to what I want the finished product to look like. Oh and I took some photography that I will post later, well if it turned out well.

Working

I'm taking a break right now from working on "Angelic" to give a quick update. I'm making more progress with "Angelic" it's still taking far too long. I have taken some new photography and I'll probably be adding it to my site soon. I also have a few reference photos to go through for my next drawing. It's going to be considerably smaller than "Angelic" and just a small detailed portrait. I'm hoping to do a few small portraits after I'm done with "Angelic." I think this drawing has really tried my patience and once I'm done I'm just going to work smaller so I can get a bit more quality, quantity onto my online gallery. Well back to work, hopefully I'll be updating with photos of the finished "Angelic" soon.

Art

I've posted some ads on craigslist and another site in hopes of getting some commissions.
"I am currently seeking portrait commissions in a variety of drawing media. I offer drawings in pencil/graphite, charcoal and colored pencil. I will consider commissions of other subject, including still life and landscape. Please include a brief description of desired subject matter, dimensions, and media. I will use this information to determine a price quote and get back to you in a timely fashion. I require 1/3 of the total price as a deposit. I am currently accepting payment through paypal only. Also please include a zip code so that I may include the price of shipping in the price quote.
For more information please visit: http://jessicamckelvin.com"
Hopefully that is pretty clear and I actually get some people that are interested. I'm not sure if that last email I got was serious or not. Either way it really is not a problem. That's why I'm going to use paypal and ask for a deposit. I've done work before, just to not get paid. Of course they didn't get the drawing, but still I wasted time and supplies on a custom drawing that wouldn't even work for my portfolio.
If anyone reading this is interested in a commission same terms apply, as listed above. I also have some older artwork that I can sell. I just don't have a listing of all the art I have available for sale, but if you see something on my site feel free to ask.

Now that I'm done with my ad... hehe I'm going to go get to work on "Angelic" finally. Hopefully I'll get some quality work done and I'll be able to post something tonight.
