This drawing I made for my friend HAWAI(nick name). She was asking me to draw her from a very long time. So I thought to draw her with her fiancĂ© and give her a surprise gift on her wedding day. 
I was not having any combined picture of them for my reference. But I managed to get their solo pictures from here and there(which was really tuff to pick). The picture of her fiancĂ© got perfectly matched the way I wanted. But still left with her picture that can fit with him. Then again I searched loads of pictures in which I can find her little leaned towards her left, but I got nothing suitable. Finally I experimented with my skills and made her leaned on her fiance so that it look sweet and tender.
I wanted to give a twilight touch in the background, but was not having any reference picture to draw. So again I thought to make it myself but because of lack of reference and experience, background didn't come out the way I wanted. I admit that I should have done more finishing in the clouds but I had to get done with other packaging stuff with this portrait in a very short time, so I left with what I had attain.

Firstly, I wanted to do this picture with graphite. But then I realized that it would not go with the occasion, and that's when her life is getting more colors. So i finally decided to make this sketch in color and picked dry pastels to start with. This was my first complete drawing made by pastels. It took me approximately 12 hours to complete(not in a one day though).


Material Used : Dry Pastels
