Kyle
This is the sixth commission piece I have completed in the past six weeks since my joint (drawing thumb) replacement surgery in April. It has been a long, arduous recovery, riddled with the fear that I would not regain full use of my hand. I am happy to say that my hand is 200 times better now than it was pre-surgery. The joint in my thumb was completely down to bone on bone, constant pain. Now I have virtually no pain. My drawing skills really got rusty which is why this is the first one I am happy enough to post here.
Kyle has a face full of freckles, so much so, that it takes you aback a bit when you first meet him. My challenge was to render the impression of those freckles. I tried to make his complexion more ruddy than I do with my pretty little girls. He was fun to do, very challenging.
Thank you for looking, and for all your good wishes during my recovery.
Happy to be back!
