I understand your concern for there ARE indeed a lot of frauds nowadays. If this can convince you, I don't even know how to use photoshop that good...yet.
Please tell that "friend" of yours to get out of that rock he/she's been living under and start taking a good look at what artists can achieve just with pencil.
Why would I wait for so long to finish your piece when I can simply go get a photocopy of that picture which would only take a few minutes?
If you are still unconvinced, I can bring this Work in Progress to school just to let you smudge it a bit, and see if there's any graphite transferred on your finger. The consequence, of course, is to bend the paper and smudge up the drawing, which I would never recommend. However, you are not able to do so once I finish the drawing because I will apply a protective spray over it, after which you can't get your finger dirty no matter how hard you smudge. But I'm sure you'll be able to see some pencil strokes, after all, my technique is not perfect.
Tell me if you want to do that.
I'm going to continue with his services, and pay him the full price. I have faith in him, and would gladly do this over again.
Thank you though, once again...I truly appreciate your concern.
