My First Dominican Commission

Early this year, I was blessed with a job (trust me, I needed it) it was from a young Dominican male. I was needless to say, delighted. Why you may ask?
Well for one, I enjoy getting work in. It adds to your income and general experience in the field. Moreover he was the first person I painted from that region, so it was exciting.

Now like I've mentioned before in older posts, painting white people is a bit challenging for me but I was up to it! He had quite a number of pictures I could use for reference so I picked my favorite and got to work.

Luckily this is one of the few works in my possession that I have step by step on how it was painted.

Remember.... I'm a little messy when I work.

Lol yes he was squinting a lot.
Also a quick side note, I will refrain from posting image references as these are actual clients and may prefer not to have their image displayed on multiple platforms.
