This is drawn on an iPad Pro with an Apple Pencil using the Procreate app, from an inspiration photo posted by Melissa on Sktchy. I usually title my portraits with the name of the inspiration but I don’t know the name of the subject of Melissa’s photo so I’ve used the shortened non-gendered version of her name, Mel, as the title of the portrait and this post.
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.
