A long time ago (the 1950's), in a galaxy far, far away (Mansfield, Ohio), my mom was a telephone operator. At that job she met her life long best friend Linda. Although they're both on Facebook these days, they often catch up with each other with four hour long phone calls. When I started my Go Fund Me campaign to get my business started, Linda was the first person to donate. At that time, I wasn't even offering a drawing to everyone. But I wanted to do one for her. I contacted her son, and got a few pics of her granddaughters to draw. With my weird style, what works best is sharp photos with hard lighting. In this case, I had a couple of fuzzy photos with pretty flat lighting. But I did my best to give Linda a then-and-now drawing of her granddaughters. Sharpies on paper, 12" X 18".
