This was certainly a challenge! The curly one on the right is my neighbor Janet, with her sister Debbie. Janet had a scratchy black and white photo from the early 1960s that she wanted sketched for Debbie.
Click on illustrations to magnify; then click once more for greater magnification.Much guess work was involved here, but I think it's a very close approximation. Janet chose a black frame and she hand-painted the matte. This will hang upstairs in her sister Debbie's home.
You can follow the process and compare the sketch with the original photo.
It was nearly finished here, save for some final highlights.
The faces and hair are finished. A good sign that the REST of it will work, too.
I think it was at this point where I knew it would come together OK.
The faces are roughed in. The basic geometry is there.The Sisters
