I don't like to re-do a drawing, but it does make you feel a little weird when you get a cool reception when you get the drawing to them, especially when 99.9% of the time your clients are so very excited when they receive their drawings. That is one reason I quit drawing people I knew.<BR/><BR/>Stop every now and again and remember to breathe, Dad, and you will get through this. But just in case you can put my name on your Harley...<BR/><BR/>HelenReddirt Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08485995791439570214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4544357147135394330.post-60194712054287459772008-10-05T19:47:00.000-07:002008-10-05T19:47:00.000-07:00Oh you are going to cry seeing one of your daughte...Oh you are going to cry seeing one of your daughters get married.

For 12 years I had to deal with trying to create something based on a lot of bad information that the client would give me.<BR/><BR/>I think both drawings reflected the faces in their respective photos. You handled the situation very diplomatically and professionally.

There is one illustration in my file that the client rejected and I have not gotten back to. I spent a loooot of time on it - drew it at a large size to try and get it done right. But then, when I e-mail a copy of the finished work, they request several changes. AND included the comment that my drawing of the loved one looked like the photo, but the photo wasn't a very good likeness of the loved one. <BR/><BR/>I sat the whole project aside - never took their money, but never got back to the drawing - at least not yet. I would like to try again, but it's been several months now. <BR/><BR/>I'm probably not listed on their favorites anymore.Rickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07965400321043093038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4544357147135394330.post-48784440522939520692008-10-04T14:36:00.000-07:002008-10-04T14:36:00.000-07:00GOOD for you.You didn't get offended.
