A parting gift- Pencil Drawing

Okay let's gossip a little🤣

Here is a parting gift I made for this handsome man right here. my client refused telling me his name. I don't know why. But that's by the way. I am super excited that I was strong enough to face this piece despite the negative feedbacks.

Below is the first piece I made and I got a lot of negative feedback like "Why is he looking slim?, That background looks like a village background, why isn't it sharp like your previous works? These and many more negative vibes were fed to my brain and because the delivery deadline was just by the corner, I was thrown into anxiety.

I hate complains and I hate disappointments so I had to put in my best to make my client happy. I made my subject healthy🤣 and I eliminated the village background. But how does a village background look like?🤣

Clients should really learn how to play with the emotions of creatives. It affects creativity and I know some of my colleagues who have given up because they can't endure bad vibes.

I have a way of fighting anxiety and whenever I finish a challenging piece like this, I feel like I have done a great thing for myself. To me, this is the joy of being a creative.

Below is the reference picture.

I know how important it is for me to be taking progress shots. Sometimes when time is against me, I forget to take progress shots. But I was lucky enough to get Few progress shots of the first attempt.

Here are the few ones I took.
