Farm 2

this was a commision... A man with the same last name as me just called me one day... I didn't understand it, because he was not from my family, but has the same name as my uncle.. then he asked me if I wanted to draw the farm where he lived with his brothers and sisters when he was a kid... his younger brother still lives there, but desided to sell the farm, that's why they asked me to draw it... I think it's very cool, also because I didn't know this man, that mean that there are people talking about me and my drawings.. and also because it's an honor that they choose me to do this... I went to the place to make the picture of it. and it wad very hard, cause It didn't fit on one picture... so I had a pretty weird reference picture.. But anyway I think it did a good job on this one.. I'm satisfied with the result!! and the man also loved it, he said it like 3 times!! The only thing I don't like very much is probably the garden.. Tools of trade: + A4 size paper + HB mechanical pencil (0,5 mm) + 2b mechanical pencil (0,5 mm) + blending sticks + kneaded eraser + my hand + 15 hours + reference picture
