This was a contract that was used as a wedding gift for this couple. We went with the monochromatic pencil
portrait for a timeless feel (which is also why the clothing isn't obvious), but added a color fade to the background.
After the initial drawing, I scanned the image, then darkened and contrasted it in Photoshop. Afterwards, I went back over
it with white airbrush for highlights. I was very pleased with the results.
