More Than Friends




More Than Friends
Sketching the other day. The reference photo is a couple of years old, taken in Seattle. Two in conversation. I assume mother and daughter.
7”x 11” ballpoint pen

  1. and again you do it , seems to be lines of steels softened and sketched into people, like this mother and daughter, no one else has your style, you are unique, I have never seen people sketch created the way you do with what you do, so again WOW and don't change for anyone or anything.....I love this

    1. You continue to make me blush. This is just a sketch, practice before getting down to work.. If I take your advice, I’ll become lazier than I already am.
      Thank you

  2. This one is so incredibly poignant to me today.
    I can hardly believe it!
    I have literally just posted a poem about the daughter I lost many years ago, then I came here and saw your fabulous drawing.
    I see us together in there...so clearly.
    I so needed to see this today.
    Thank you...so much!:)

    1. I loved your poem. The loss of a child is so sad, I can’t imagine….
      Timing like this has happened before. I was looking through photos just to sketch, and these two caught my attention. I remember photographing them from across a busy Seattle street and making the assumption. I’m not sure why I decided I needed a photo of there moment, but I did.
      Thank you for sharing and making this simple sketch significant, and memorable.

  3. You do it so well, Tony. We all have loads of pictures lying around but its not always easy to turn them into expressive artworks.I like your pen drawings, they are so busy yet the subject is never lost.
