It was an honor for me to sketch these beautiful ladies; a mom, a grandmother, a great grandmother and the baby. This was done in charcoal on acid free cold pressed paper. It took about a month to do some nights I was up until two am trying to get it right. The photo she gave me to work from was not the best, and the images were fingernail size so working on it was a challenge. I had to use a copy machine to enlarge the picture so I could get more detail and a better sense of the values. I loved drawing it and was humbled to have been chosen for this project.
