Mr. Hillberry once again i'm amazed! Can't wait to see the Clothing!

Question for you.

I know that you are a full time professional artist. Do you have an agent that helps get this type of work or is it your reputation that you've built over the years of doing a million shows?

The reason for asking is I'm starting to get some intrest from small galleries and public wanting prints and so on. I just sold my first commission for $500 and was pumped! And that has led to another commission. I'm just completing my webpage and business cards I hope to go to print with two additional pieces Limited and open edition by January. So the ball is rolling. Am I on the right track?
Any sugestion would be greatly appreciated. Please stop by my post if you have but a minute (I know you real busy!) and give me REAL HONEST critique.

I'm a huge fan!
Great stuff

Wow! Tremendous work, as usual, Mr. Hillberry!
Just wondering...are you done with the hair? It just looks a bit like it's too soft and smudged compared to the rest of the drawing, but maybe I'm wrong. I love your work and your book looks great, too, even though I haven't gotten into it much yet or been drawing much, lately.

What a wonderful portrait! I have a question for you, do you draw from life or from a photo? If it's a photo, do you take the photos yourself or do you take whatever photos the client have available?

I work from photos. No one would want to sit for me that long. I like to take my own reference photos but more often than not I end up working from what ever photo the client suplies. I would have prefered the light more to the side on this reference photo.

I normally try to get more than one photo of the person just to make sure it will look like them. I would have prefered the light more to the side on this reference photo.

Mr Hillberry....ive been at this site for about an hour...45 min of that was staring at this portrait!!!...this is pure 100% inspiration.
i just about fell out of my seat when i seen this one.
if i hadnt seen it with my own 2 eyes,i never would have thought that looking at a golf star could be so interesting.
also congratulations on your new commission with the PGA.
,...please post this again once its finished,
TAKE Care

Extremely Sensational!!
The skin is so real, you want touch it, definitely has that leathery, skin-weathered look, I'm hopefully getting your book for Christmas, so I'll be able to find even more tips than this forum has given me.
I really admire your work, thanks for sharing and inspiring us all
