So I have just completed a drawing I have been working on for weeks, she is about 97% done but the most of her is there. The drawing is of a Maori girl who I am friends with. The drawing stands at 1m x 1.5m high and done with charcoal on paper. This drawing is going to be entered into the Parkin Drawing prize and I am crossing my fingers. This was a VERY challenging drawing but also very enjoyable! I put myself in the photo to get an idea of size and also I will be posting a picture of just her very soon.
