It's Easy To Draw

FROM THE CREATOR: 
This pic is titled "Me." It was the first pic I colored after my mom's passing. The pic is on the left and my interpretation is on the right. I kept the original color scheme because I really liked it. The sadness in her eyes represent losing my mom, and the beads hanging from the bottom of her dress represent the weight I feel from my mom's passing. It was very therapeutic. It also was the first pic I colored after completing the Texture's class which has improved my skillset, I think. I used white charcoal, oil pencils, wax pencils, gel pens, and assorted acrylic paints. The original image is by Nori Coloring, Puppets Pics, and it can be found on Etsy.

FROM INSTRUCTOR LISA MITROKHIN: 
I don't think people realize that HP actually drew most of her version (image on the right) by hand before coloring it. Her note on the project is very humble, but as her instructor here in the academy I reserve the right to brag. :D HP is exceptionally talented and watching her grow and blossom as an artist has been extremely rewarding and enjoyable. 
This piece won my heart as the artist of the month because of the technical skill required to pull this off, combined with personal artistic decisions, and the strength to breath meaning into the creation. This isn't just a reproduction of a drawing; it immortalizes a powerful and significant memory in a timeless piece of art.
