A pencil drawing measuring 70cm x 50cm, drawn with HB, 2B, and 4B pencils and various sizes of blending tools. A story of three generations in one drawing.
It sometimes happens that I get asked to help choose the right photos, which gives me the opportunity to select photos with a beautiful story.

At the top, I draw the boy's grandparents. For the first generation, I chose a photo from their 50th anniversary. A beautiful moment that I definitely wanted to capture.

On the left and right appear the two daughters of the first generation, likewise photos with character, and that is precisely what makes the drawing interesting and unique.

For the finishing touches, I find it important that everything comes together. To achieve this, for the first generation being the grandparents,I will not only draw the heads but also some of the accessories and their clothing; this ensures that everything becomes a cohesive whole.
