So this is a drawing I did for this awesome family. It was to be a surprise for the wife and the daughter. When i got it delivered, this is a picture they sent me
He told me that the family couldn't stop admiring the portrait.
That made me curious. I have not been drawn before, and if i was ever drawn, I am not sure it looked like me. So I haven't actually received an art piece before to know how exciting it can be.
So my question now is, how exciting is it to receive a work of art and how long it can be valued?
Here are some lazy shots I took while making this lovely pencil piece.
The finished piece
The framed piece

A place to show your skills
You are talented, do you know that? This was such an incredible piece of art and i am sure the family will treasure it forever. I do not have any self portrait but if I have one, I definitely will frame it and hand on the wall. I love black and white as the theme, it looks great and elegant. From your drawing, it shown the love of the family to their daughter. The wife's hair was so detail, with only one color. You able to shade it and look so natural. Good work and now i can answered question, I would be very exciting if i received such an art work, would frame it and hang on my wall forever.

WOW is spectacular @unyimeetuk, it looks like a photograph taken in black and white, what a way to make realism .. this is pure art .. My respects for you !! It looks quite big that drawing, what measures does it have?

I am a big fan of hyper realism and I love details in an art so I try as much as i can to capture every detail and make the art pop out. Thanks so much. I respect you too. Can we be friends??😄😄. The measure is 2×3ft

This piece is just beautiful and perfectly made. I can imagine the joy that filled this woman's heart after recieving this surprise.
I have never really received a drawing, painting or sculpture of me before (hopefully, i will receive one from you someday, lol.) But I think there is something beautiful about being able to see how you look through someone else's eyes (in this case yours) especially if it kinda captures all the nice details about you. And it makes that feeling of excitement even "bigger" when the work is being done beautifully.
Sometimes however, I think what makes it exciting is the thought conveyed by the person giving the drawing/painting (in this case her husband). I feel their is so much feeling and though behind getting someone's drawing/painting done instead of just going out and getting a photo shot done. It has an amazing feeling to it. And sometimes, it is the memory contained in the drawing that causes that much excitement..
I am sure they are gonna treasure this for a very long time, well, except if they end up getting another. But the first, will always have a special place in their heart.... Pardon my long comment.. Lol.

The truth is, I've never had any shot done in my honour before neither have I had a portrait of me done this beautifully before, the truth is I think art does not expire and it's value does not deteriorate, that's why famous painting like the Monalisa does not lose it's value.
This is totally beautiful, totally precise and awesome I was beginning to wonder if it's coal or pencil, but honestly this is awesome I love the deep black colours.
Art is definitely life and this is outstanding

This is just too perfect. I can picture this scene in my mind, it is hard to remember that it is a drawing not a picture. You are a great artist @unyimeetuk.
I have never had my portrait drawn, no artist has impressed me enough. The portraits i have seen always has one fault or another. If i wish to have my portrait drawn, i would definitely come to you. The idea appeals to me a lot.

Yes is very sad as you said, people should learn to value the art, when you think about this issue, you realize that most of the artist in the history were poor people that only survived because the elite buyed them works. There are few lucky ones that manage to live enough to success and be recognized.
Even famous artists like Van Gogh lived in very poor conditions, he selled two pictures in life I think, one of them to his beloved brother.

It's really sad. The discouragements I get from people to get a good job and leave art is uncountable. Artists are believed to be poor people who struggle to feed. And recently there is a campaign for people to buy arts from living artist because the dead ones don't need the money. Imagine Da vinci's piece still selling. Most great artists got their recognition when the died. It's confusing

Unyime, listen to me here in Steemit you have ways to earn more than selling your artworks to others. I see that your account have grown significantly, I bet that if you invest that steem properly soon you will have some nice earnings.
As you know I'm not an expert here but you can delegate your SP to UA or to the upcoming 1UP, proyects that help to minnows accounts, for that delegation you will have upvotes from the community free, and I mean a good bunch of upvotes regularly.

So so pretty @unyimeetuk! Your drawing looked like a portrait photo! How amazing is that?? The level of details you put into each person is mind blowing. You have great talent there @unyimeetuk and you should not do it for free. You should charge for commission (not sure if this is the correct term), for the time and effort that you put into to the drawing. I have never seen a drawing that looked so real and you drew a family of three! Personally, I have not been drawn before either, but if I ever do request for a drawing of myself, I would like the drawing to turn out like how yours did for the family.

It's shocking how the features are captured in what even looks like a photograph.
One question, what are the charcoal blurrings used in the background? Deepness? A lot of drawing friends use it, but I don't get it.

That is a lovely drawing of a lovely family. I think I would do the same of cannot getting enough admiring it. Great artwork you made there! How big is it? And how long does it usually take you to do such size of drawing?
You wondered how it is to be drawn. Have you ever tried self portrait? I just saw a post here wherein the artist took a model photo of himself and drew it. Maybe you can also try... 😊
