Four Different Types of Illustration

The Snowpeople (ink on illustration board, 11X17) was commissioned by Henderson-Shapiro, an ad agency for their client, a major pharmaceutical company, to be used as a holiday card. I did seven or eight different concept sketches and the company settled on the most boring one. It happens.
The Groomsmen (11X17, ink, acrylic on illustration board) was commissioned by an individual as a gift for his groomsmen. I was given loads of information about these guys so I could develop a funny drawing full of "in" jokes.
Lady on Horse, (12X16, graphite, airbrush, on paper) was commissioned as a Christmas present. Apparently the saddle was VERY important to the subject, so I had to make sure I got all the details.
Prom Couple (8.5X11, ink on paper). This guy commissioned me to draw him and his girlfriend as a present for her on her graduation. I used a specific type of marker on a specific type of slick paper to get the smooth effect. Sadly, I believe this type of paper is no longer made and all other types I've tried allow the marker to bleed. It's a great look and can be done quickly and "on the spot".
