I was commissioned by a friend's mother, an animals' rights activist, do draw two illustrations showing dogs and cats in a factory farm. It was interesting, and although the extensive use of photo references for the animals (and the use of a photo for the dogs' background) make the result somewhere in the grey area between sketching and photo-manipulation, it was still a rather interesting exercise. I am definitely convinced that it is much easier to get realistic results with greyscale sketches, and then add colour later if necessary.

As for other pictures, they are in the [incredibly slow] pipeline.
