So I have not been so active drawing recently. Got tied up in other things, and some sad things have been happening with family. But it is these sad events that got me active to do a new drawing.
Sad story, a while ago my Auntie had a vicious stroke. It has left her half paralysed and she can not move about, or see properly. Also has issues with talking and all confused. Anyway it was such a bad one, 6 months later she is not much different.
If this was not bad enough, her husband, who quit work to look after her ended up in hospital, he was told previously he had gorestones, but he was rushed in and turned out he had advanced bowl cancer, he has not long left on this earthly plane 🙁
I felt I needed to do something nice for them both, all I could think to offer is a nice drawing of them both on there wedding day and to do it quickly so they can both see it. I tried some new paper for this drawing and the source material was quite small and old, but this is what I done:
This was from a rather small old photo which I scanned in and cropped, the photo was textured which the scanner picked up which did not help, so the detail in this drawing is not as thorough but I think it turned out ok, tried some new paper on this one which I am undecided about, need to find the right paper for me.
