Commissioned portrait of a friend's niece. I was able to do this one pretty quickly/easily and get a good likeness, because I had just done 87 portrait sketches (3 minutes a piece) for free at a Christmas festival in town the day before. Talk about great practice... it's amazing how your eye for likeness works so much better when you immerse yourself in studying faces for a few hours. My hand sure did hurt, though! ;P
