<div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;">I was recently contacted by Patricia and Hannah, the adorably chic founders of <a href="http://www.thefashioncookbook.com/"><span style="color: #ea9999;">The Fashion Cookbook</span>,</a> to help design a watercolour image for their site redesign.

Wednesday's Sketchbook: A Commissioned Project & Guest Post

<div style="text-align: center;">Well guys, it's about darn time I share with you my first ever commissioned art project.<br />I was so thrilled and delighted when Landi of <a href="http://www.freckledconfessions.com/" style="color: #8e7cc3;">Freckled Confessions</a> contacted me to do a custom doodle of her beautiful self for her new blog design.<br />After all, she'd never seen me draw a person before (and to be honest, I hadn't drawn a person in a very long time).<br />But I got straight to work and this is the version we decided on:<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhV2ZTJQzlFvr99k5aA34qr677XCNzC2IL_Qo_eYV3T9tlHhguXl53Sqea63Q7C66F4ttYNnTEnkly1cUTWPCBD7Fs8_o2rQycGoBhzlKQ1L2sxY0Yv64FGKA2p1XDm5odwP7dZobrTmwzu/s1600/landi+4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="628" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhV2ZTJQzlFvr99k5aA34qr677XCNzC2IL_Qo_eYV3T9tlHhguXl53Sqea63Q7C66F4ttYNnTEnkly1cUTWPCBD7Fs8_o2rQycGoBhzlKQ1L2sxY0Yv64FGKA2p1XDm5odwP7dZobrTmwzu/s640/landi+4.jpg" width="640" /></a> <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>Want to see the real Landi for comparison?
