Mum and Dad Portrait

So here we are. Christmas is over. The ham and turkey have been finished off and the mountain of snack food is slowly getting smaller, eclair by eclair, pretzel by pretzel. This drawing is the one I did for Mum and Dad as part of their Christmas present. They recently got back from a trip to Europe and this drawing was put together from a few photos taken somewhere in France:


Drawing a full length picture is so different to drawing close up portraits of faces. I had to get all the details and folds of the clothing for starters, and then trying to fit all the detail of a face into the size of a 20c coin is much more difficult than having a whole page to do it in. But here was the final result. Drawn in 2B pencil on paper.
