beauty

Hope MacRae

I never knew this woman, but I would have liked to. I know her family, and I was honoured to be present as they celebrated her going on to be with our Lord. Over the past couple of days I learned a lot about the person she was, and I wish to remember her for myself. This drawing is, for me, a way to do that.

christmas portrait

Another portrait in ink and marker.

What I love about it, is that it's a once through kind of a thing ... with no room for mistakes :).
If it works, it's an accomplishment.

This is Melanie and her mom.

Another updated sketch ...

... it's a little more finished :)

Updated sketch :)

Well, I've worked on it a little bit more. I thought I'd leave all the versions up as I scan them, for interests sake.

A bit of a background makes a difference too :)

Another sketch ...

You can totally see where the centre line of the book is ..

Another unfinished sketch from the sketchbook
I just visited these friends .. more like family, and
I miss them.

Of the three, nina's face still needs the most attention.
I really like coming back to drawings; it's like
spending time with an old friend :).

two beautiful people

Chelsea and Chanelle
(sorry if I spelled your names wrong!)
are two young people who I miss very much, now that I'm living all the
way up here in Sudbury.

this is, once again, an unfinished sketch from my most
recent sketch book

Portrait in pen and marker

This drawing will be matted and set up
for people to write messages on.

This is copic pen and copic marker on bleedproof paper :)
