Engagement Commission Drawing

This is a new drawing I did for a customer in Grand Rapids. The drawing was commissioned by Nolan for his girlfriend, Allie. He wanted to present the drawing to his girlfriend as he proposed to her. This was a fun drawing to do. In the original picture Nolan was wearing a hat, which covered most of his forehead and hair. So I had to make those parts up, which was challenging. In the end the drawing was presented to Allie and they are now engaged to be married
