Kaleb by Renee Sholly

Renee has gotten 5 custom charts from me. This one has been by far the hardest one to chart. The original image was fairly aged, so getting it just so was sort of tricky. I will admit I hesitated with the quality, but it was a special image and an even more special boy… so […]

Man and Dog Sleeping by Susan Schober

Here is an amazing finish and fast. This is a chart that I did for Susan in October. It’s not huge that was one of her criteria, which also made charting it complicated to create. I had to work hard to not make this man look pink (He has really quite pink skin tone.) while […]
