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.

My favourites

I know you’re not supposed to play favourites, but there are always some illustrations that for one reason or another I love a tiny, little bit more than the others. Sometimes because they were more fun to create, or perhaps because the person it was for is special to me.
