Remember that crazy hard pencil commission of those two miniature fuzzy faces? (You can see it in the October 2 blog post.)
The customer/friend asked me to make an adjustment to the boy’s cheek because his face was more narrow than round in real life (couldn’t prove it by me or by that photo). Adjustment made, I began the rest of the drawing. It turned out like this:
She thought that by adjusting his cheek, his face went out of balance. Yup. His face is crooked. Why? You might need a microscope to see it. Why don’t I just show you the corrected version:
Can you see the difference? Neither can I, but it showed up under the giant magnifying light at the drawing table. After I got the customer’s approval, I scanned it, then spray fixed it, then added a bit of red to the trailer and blue to the trike.
No, you aren’t blind. I didn’t scan it again after adding the color.

I bet your customer is very pleased, Jana. Well done!
Cheryl, at the time of the posting she hadn’t seen the drawing in person, only on a scan sent via email. I will be relieved when she sees it and I can erase it from my mental list of unfinished business. That is my least favorite list!
