I wish I wasn't leaning in this pic- these are actually perfectly centered and matched up. I get to start the shading in two weeks, once the outline heals. I did the right wing two nights ago- 10 Sept, and the left one last night- 11 Sept. (that's why the left is a little darker, too) Sorry about the red marker and tape marks on me- this was taken like five minutes after he finished. :) I'll switch it out with a better one soon.
Awesome. Today I got my outline of the wings. They are medium sized. I got them to where you can add more to make it bigger. I'll post a picture soon and show you. I'd love to see your 2nd sitting. I'm sure its marvelous, and thank you for the Koi comment.
Each appt is four hours, but that included his set up time. He had a basic outline, and then freehanded most of it. My next appt is 9 Oct, and I get to begin shading- I'm totally psyched.
