Something I’m doing for mom, I never do portraits of people, like never ever, I hate it, too much pressure and tension, because if I make one little mistake, even if people don’t notice it, I will! Forget about live painting/drawing, even sketching, I can’t I don’t know, I wont be able to bear the weight of knowing my mistakes when I look at a drawing, so I prefer to copy from a picture, easier, you can take your time encouraging yourself, that you can do it, much easier you know, so I was about to say all of that to my sister, when she said, do it for her birthday! If anyone knows me, I am really really bad at getting a present or giving away gifts, I simply don’t know, even if it was one of my closest friends, I would fail miserably at finding a gift, I should though however, stop thinking this way, so I can get a meaningful gift for someone, but hey! I love getting presents :D

Yeah, mom is going to have her Birthday on the 2nd of January, and as far as I remember, I never bought a card, or well… never had the thought of buying or making one, only when pressured and persuaded by others… so today I thought, I’ll change that, lets draw mother, cause few days ago she was asking me to draw her picture, when she was younger, like decades younger :D (Yeah I know lame joke, but I found myself funny and cool) so here it goes, the sketch, and the original picture, you’ll notice that I am not really doing a realistic approach at this, though I had something realistic in my mind, but I kinda like what I’m doing now.

Hope it will turn out well!!
