Drawing mum - a page from my sketchbook




Hello friends! The other day mum showed me a photo of her younger self and I decided that I should be less narcissistic (one would think that given the number of self-portraits I have been sharing...*LOL*) and draw mum instead. ;)


Here is younger mum...back in the early 70s.


As always, I started with a rough sketch with my non-dominant hand. Yep...it looks terrible but I find that it helps me loosen up and not overthink.


Here is a mid-process shot. I only used one coloured pencil for this sketch.

What do you think? Do I resemble my mum?
