I draw traditional portraits by hand. How could they earn their keep?
Posted by CatNapster · Location-independent
I draw traditional artistic portraits in pencil, like the one here. I’d love feedback on my work, and ideas for how it could earn something: commissions, gifts, events, collaborations, or something I haven’t thought of.

Very cool, I rmmbr back in London when I was a kid some street artists around, I paid one to get mine.. so thats quite a common thing.
What about offering portraits made from old family photographs? Someone might have a faded picture of a grandparent, or even a wedding photo from 50 years ago, that they'd love to see recreated as a pencil drawing. There are plenty of digital filters, but an actual hand-drawn original has a different appeal. Have you tried working from historical photos?
