I was wondering what I could post for Illustration Friday’s topic Linked. So I let the word just bounce around in my head all day. And smack, every kind of link imaginable kept coming up ie. braid, quilts, and then it hit me; Family, How much more than that can people be linked? We don’t always like our family, but we will always love them, because we share a link. This is one of my most favorite captured moments of my sister, brother and I by my Dad; there are four of us, but the baby sister hasn’t made her debut just yet.

So my next thought would be to make sure I show her as well… “Pain In The Neck,” and the title is just the tip of the iceberg.

All of us are linked through family and I think sometimes everyone needs to remember that. I just think back to when we were all at home together and a lot of those memories do make me laugh. And if you really try to think about “Linked” I even started wondering about the missing link or a skeleton…. but I am glad I chose the drawing or drawings I did, because they mean alot to me and to my family.

I always like starting a portrait with the eyes… Grace’s capture you and pull in to her world. On this portrait I am working in the dark areas and building up the layers of pastel.

Grace, Schnauzer Sketch

I am so excited to start on this portrait. This is the beginning or first sketch mainly for concept of space before placing in color. The media being used will be pastels. I have to make sure that the drawing is accurate in order to continue comparing several photographs for reference before moving on. I will continue to update progress on this drawing and do my best to explain my work process.

Sad I can’t carve pumpkins this year due to my hand injury. I love Halloween and carving pumpkins is just one of the delights I enjoy about the holiday. Enjoy!!!
