Portrait of Andy (Commission)

This is a portrait I did as a commission. I worked from 2 of Andy's graduation photos...one with the mortarboard and one without. The request was for the photo with the mortarboard, because that photo was a better pose, but they wanted it without the hat, so I used the hairline from the second photo. I think it came out pretty well, and Andy's grandfather was very happy with it.
