This is a drawing from Sktchy muse North’s collection of photos. It’s a portrait of a child and, as usual, I’ve made her look years older than she looks in the photo. I think it’s because I’ve elongated her face – something I have a tendency to do a lot of the time. but I love how the hair and eyes turned out so it’s not all bad.
I drew the portrait in my Midori Cotton sketchbook with Copic markers and Prismacolor coloured pencils.
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.
