Portrait of Dana
I love this portrait I did of my friend Dana. She has an amazing head of hair, a touch of resting grumpy face and great earrings which makes her really fun to draw! Even though this portrait is not realistic I feel like it captures her personality perfectly.

This was a very fun portrait commission to work on for an outdoorsy family. Notice the little heart shaped bum hole on Josie the doggo! Also, this illustration is currently being exhibited at the beautiful Zeitz MOCAA! It will be on display till end October 2021.
