After finishing the dog portrait, I moved on to the medical office commission. I had the same problem of too small photo file size from the client, but fortunately, one of the whole building was big enough to enlarge. I penciled in the basic layout from it and have had to use pictures still on the computer to finish the inking. I can do it that way but it is much harder having to turn to the side to look at the computer rather than a photo right on my board. I think I may try to get a white marker of sorts so I can make the works on the sign a bit clearer. White on black is so hard to delineate and the actual lettering size is quite small. Pastels up next so I can to have it in the mail on Wednesday.

Yes, Cindy. I have to use the pastels and colored pencils because the trim is so small.
