This is how all my Copic portraits start out. I draw a quick pencil portrait and then work over it with a fineliner before erasing the pencil. This time I liked my pencil sketch of Alena so much I decided to leave it as it is and not move on to pen and Copic markers.
I drew Alena with a Blackwing 602 pencil in a Midori Cotton sketchbook.
I love drawing things. These days I am rarely found without a pen, pencil or stylus in my hands. In my working life I spend a lot of time in meetings and classrooms, reading papers and strategies, so my home life provides a creative antidote to all that! I also have chronic pain, lots of it. I have scoliosis, fibromyalgia and CRPS, so my life is a balancing act, trying to balance work, which make me feel part of the real world, with pain, which is ever present, and art, which soothes my pain.
