This client wanted me to come over and draw her grandson from life. Her grandson had posed for me for about 3-4 two hour sessions. I had taken photographs of him at the very beginning of the session to help decide which pose the grandmother liked the best. Then we had put her grandson in the pose that the grandmother liked the best. I did the initial drawing from life and then parts of the editing I used the photograph. https://www.chelseayounkman.com/about-3 daily 0.75 2022-01-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eda6762258ffc5b89cd818d/f300cf09-6bab-45c6-a3a9-5e897f2ff90a/IMG_1874.JPG Company https://www.chelseayounkman.com/baron daily 0.75 2022-01-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eda6762258ffc5b89cd818d/7cebde30-825e-437c-9fa1-9598cc33a43c/IMG_0348.JPG Baron - Client: Dog Owner 11x14” Soft Pastel on Board This drawing I did for a fellow who’s beloved dog just recently passed away.

The client had really enjoyed the original Job Fair series back when it was displayed at Artprize in 2013. Since the original series had sold to another client back in 2013, the dog walker wanted me to make her a costume made drawing. I had some photographs left over from when I was actively doing the series and I used some of the photos that I had never used before to create her this drawing. https://www.chelseayounkman.com/new-page daily 0.75 2024-10-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eda6762258ffc5b89cd818d/229122d3-cae2-4020-92ad-f71fa79c667a/Leo+new.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eda6762258ffc5b89cd818d/13554dc2-0846-4f4b-be4f-93247fc6772b/Cute+Hair+new.jpg https://www.chelseayounkman.com/work daily 1.0 2026-02-03 https://www.chelseayounkman.com/work/cats-pn3hg monthly 0.5 2026-02-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eda6762258ffc5b89cd818d/add63c0e-62b5-48e6-a057-9217c23f31ba/Bow+Leo+1.jpg My Work -
