Drawing Amy

When Amy died, I was so sad that I didn't know what to do. My thoughts were so muddled and I knew that I had to try and refocus. We both looked through the photos we had taken of her over the last 12 years. We had a huge collection from when she was only 18 months old, so little then to her plumb middle age.

I needed to think of  her in a different way, my partner is a web designer and created some drawings of her in Photoshop. I'd always wanted to drawn but on traditional paper and graphite. I did a few sketches of her from some of the photos we found. This is based on a picture I took of her in 2003, looking up at me from the kitchen floor. I would also like to try watercolours and pastels as well.
