# As requested, Lance! *(drawn using a tablet and pen in Photoshop)
Lance! *(drawn using a tablet and pen in Photoshop)
and further I've had SO many people asking how I do these I took a frame at every completed stage so you can see the whole thing took approximately 10 hours (as he is a bitch to draw due to his skin having extraordinary detail!) over 2 days on & off and for once I won't be doing live updates after posting as I've had this a day already due to being on my travels at the mo.

Cheers!

# That is so very, very excellent.
Can I make a request? At some point, just because it's him, could you do Jack?

# Do give my love to everyone on Saturday
I do have enough money to attend, but I'm going to be at my granddad's house sorting through my grandma's things (translation: stopping him throwing any other heirlooms away).

# It's ok
She wanted to go, my uncle (her son) died a few years back and she's not been the same since. Eventually it was cancer and I'm glad she's out of it now, as she was in so much pain.

She was a great nanna, mad as a bloody hatter.

I'm ok, seriously. These past few days have been a bit shit, but I'm getting there. I don't really do death as my family live for so long- as of yet we've had two deaths in 23 years (my life) - my uncle and nanna.

you keep something to remember her by. all my grandparents died when i was a child and i have nothing to remember them by, which i deeply regret.

# I don't either
My dog is nearing the end of his life, we've had him about 12 years, I've grown up with that mutt!

I know it's not the same as a person but I've been really surprised how badly it's hit me, the idea of him not being about any more? even just seeing that he can't do the things he used to.

I actually studied Death in Society at uni, and logically I'm right up there with the reality...but emotionally I've been completely blindsided and I think that's because I've not had experience of death.
A couple when I was too young to remember, one I never got told about (and hadn't seen her for years anyway) and a few pets I'd not really formed that kind of bond with.

# Cheers feller, I'm getting esp good at eyes now I think
I think I could maybe try drawing something totally original and out of my imaginings soon!

However, I'm getting requests from friends to do portraits of them or their loved ones, esp considering Valentines Day is coming up, which may keep me busy, and they probably won't be suitable for showing on here, tho I can ask if they don't mind, we'll see...

# Thanks again!
I do (as you can see in the GIF) always try to get them in early as then I feel I can see the 'life' in the portrait.

When I don't have so much spare time to do these I may try doing some less detailed ones as the earlier stages of chunky block colours are still recognisable and still look kinda cool, and of course, thy won't take so long to do, but I'm afraid I'm never quite sure when to stop and do rather enjoy the later 'fiddley detail' stages the most. But we'll see.

# I don't think I've commented on any of these yet
I suppose it's about time I did.
They are bloody amazing!
I've often wondered what you've actually done to the pics as sometimes they look as good as a photo,
now that you've broken it down into layers I can see what a wonderful job you've done of them.
You should look at maybe doing this professionally instead of just something to waste time during chav wound recovery.

# I have been told this a few times, and/or asked the address of my webpage,
I don't have one and I don't know the first thing about setting one up, never mind how to 'do it professionally', and I imagine it's not simple, but if you or anyone else on here who may have a clue would be so kind as to offer some pointers/advice/links that might help get me on the right footing, I am of course happy to try, nothing to lose after all, and it would be nice to get something positive out of the bad experience that (by a roundabout route) got me to here.

I am just about to go do something elsewheres in a bit as I am at friends at this time, change of walls, and on their computer (took my laptop with me) but I'll check this and my messages out laters.

Cheers.
