Client's brief:-
"Hey Jit,
Hope you are doing well.
I have been a HUGE fan of your work for over a year now and have been following you on facebook!!
For a dear friend of mine, i want to commission a coloured portrait with a background theme for his birthday. I have been particularly impressed by the dragon detail in the Bruce Lee Sketch of yours.
This friend Sunil has a Coffee Plantation Business and is very passionate about Food and love Goats (Mountain goats IBEX) !!
Some of the initial thoughts are as follows:
Warrior like person with an Alexander King helmet, with a red feather plume coming out - person is riding an Ibex (himalayan goat) - prefer goat's hair to have some detail like the bruce lee dargon.
Sword in one hand and a coffee cup with coffee spilling out in another
Coffee plants / plantation in the background
Goat can be chewing coffee plant / beans on the floor - but running in motion.
Goat heads lying in the background - like dead bodies in a war
Person's eyes are very important - greenish shade - naughty / mischevious look in the eyes
Nose is also very important - has deep roundish impressions on both the nostrils
A big wide smile / laughing loudly
A bright colored flag from saddle on ibex / or behind the goat's backside saying "Rosedale Coffee & Spices"
Somewhere "Happy Birthday Monsieur Sunil Rasquinha"

Photos attached - one of goat head also.....
I would like to order a A3 Digital caricature with theme in colour. I like the ANZ Digital caricature as a sample...."
Sketching out the idea....
Deciding on the colour scheme.....
Start painting....
Fine tuning......
Completed version.
Most of the painting was done during my holiday in Malaysia.
Brought my Wacom Cintiq and Macbook Pro along the trip.
Initially, I thought they should be less bulky as compared to the colour markers, but in actual case, it isn't. The cables and adapters are taking up a lot of the space in my bag......
And I have to bring the traditional drawing tools like pencil, G-pen, brushes, colour markers for another job.... (which I didn't manage to use to colour markers, due to the many activities during this trip.) In the end, I am bring everything, both traditional and digital drawing tools lol!
Client's feedback:-
"Thank you sooo much Jit!! Love the pic :)"
