This is Mari from Sktchy drawn with Copic markers in a Midori cotton sketchbook. I have to say it felt so good to be back in my Copic comfort zone making this portrait – but I forgot that I needed to be much neater in my basic sketch. I’m going to have to remember to work on a more accurate and neater sketch, something that doesn’t matter so much with ballpoint pen drawing.
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.
