Pencil Portrait

It's been a while since I've done any serious drawing so it was nice to be asked by my friend to do this portrait of her and her boyfriend for his birthday.  As much as I like to draw portraits, I'm always worried about getting a likeness, so much so it puts me off doing them. 

You'll have to take my word for it, but I think I captured them pretty well (huge sigh of relief), anyway my friend was happy with it and so was her boyfriend, happy birthday Stu.

IF: Dusty

It's been a while since I've contributed to Illustration Friday and this weeks theme gave me inspiration.  I immediately thought of the horrible substance that coats everything, which is one of my bugbears - it makes things look so dirty and untidy and needs doing so regularly. 

With hating dust so much I didn't really feel that enthusiastic to draw any, so I thought I'd draw Dusty Springfield instead (well, my interpretation of her anyway).
