Wedding portrait

Commissioned piece to be displayed at my ex-colleague's wedding reception which was held on last sunday.

I like drawing human figure, but i am not good at drawing portrait especially for wedding. I felt myself to be very tensed and restricted while doing this drawing. In result, the bride's hands are very stiff too. So to distract the viewers away from the obviously noticeable stiffness, gem stones, pvc petals and the ready made handicraft were added.

And, this is what i enjoyed most playing around with the elements to add more visual interests to otherwise simple and stiff portrait ;p
