Kim (kentuckyjourney) won the first portrait raffle. Here are a few scans showing the portrait in progress. I should be able to finish it by tomorrow. That means I will be drawing another name for a portrait with the possibility that a second one might be finished before Christmas. If you haven't already entered, send in your photo by Monday morning (next raffle drawing date).

If anyone knows how I can post the in-progress pictures as a java script slide show, let me know. I think a slideshow progression would be so cool. :0)

Yet to go: Developing the grass area and some tweaking of the intermediate and dark values especially in the face. I hope to post the finished portrait tomorrow.
