Wil and Tommy

October 2024

This is a portrait of a colleague of mine with her newborn grandson Tommy.

When I saw the picture of Wil (my colleague) with her newborn grandson Tommy on our internal network, I knew I had to draw her. Using the overexpose and grainy reference photo gave me a challenge but I just had to make it work.

Creating this drawing was a pleasure and while she did not know I was working on this, it was a big surprise when I gave her this drawing framed and wrapped in giftpaper. She was very pleased with it!

For this drawing I only used graphite pencils.

A4 paper size.
