    I commend you on your goal of 100 commissions for the year. You will benefit greatly from that. I had to put my daughter through college and did so with commissioned work. For 6 years, I was a slave to commissions. The obvious benefit was the financial stability, but more important than that was the practice of working consistently. I see many artists state they are waiting for inspiration, and unfortunately the habit of not working develops during that wait. Commissioned work removes that because you work without that constraint. I think that was the biggest lesson I learned, and that is that commissioned work is a job, just like any other, and you go in and do your best every day. The last benefit is that with constant and consistent 'work'(painting or pencil), you work out issues and find the most effective manner to create. You find better ways, and personal improvement goes through the roof. I think your goals this year are perfect, and I have no doubt you will reach them and really advance your career. How exciting!

    I was about three years into my art journey when I convinced myself that if I didn't create something 'large' I wasn't going to be considered a serious artist. So, 22x24, with color pencils, all paper covered. Yeah, 4 months later (up to 10 hrs a day, every day), I finished. It kinda became my signature piece, and it did put me on the map, but I swear I lost my sanity there for a while. Now when that voice in my head says 'Go big or go home", I just feed her chocolate until she shuts up. Merry Christmas!

    Being a pencil artist, my art tends to be tighter and more realistic, and I see a lot of artists that work in sections, bringing them to almost full completion. I tend to lose my way in doing that. I've tried to work the entire canvas, and tend to get overwhelmed doing that. So, after following a lot of oil painters, I now tend to put down quite a bit of under 'painting' on highly detailed images. This gets the 'map' of the work down in my brain. Then I will work in sections usually starting with the least complicated and working to the most complicated. I will have several sections going at a time, and will bounce around between them as the complexity increases. By the time I get to the truly complicated sections, I've got a pretty good 'groove' or feel for the piece, and it helps me get through all the really hard stuff. I've also have my eyes really trained in by this point so I can see all the variations in color and values. Like you, the last thing I do is to work edges and develop the shadows/values fully. The more I do, the more I find myself thinking, 'This should be easier by now', yet it isn't. I guess that is why I keep experimenting on how I process through my work. Very good video, thanks!
