I've ended my year, 2024 with the completion of this image, a drawing done from a snapshot my mom took of me and my younger sister, Jean, in 1956. Featured are our brand new bikes.
I used a rendering technique with pencils and erasers and powdered graphite to achieve this realistic image and here is the link to the 2 plus hour long video. First Bikes
I am happily ensconced in the world of graphite and ready to tackle my next memory from snapshots of my past.
In the world of YouTube I am fast approaching as in by the time this blog is posted 10,000 subscribers. So pleased to be reaching so many people.
Thanks for checking in and Happy New Year!
