Year created: 2023
Project Overview: I made this pencil drawing in September of 2023 for my friend's birthday as a surprise present. This work was created using a mechanical pencil and toned paper.
Artist Statement: I really wanted to give my friend something special for her birthday. I prefer to give sentimental gifts because they seem more personal. Money is cool but having a gift that shows the recipient that you care and made time to make them a gift is more meaningful. I had a lot of fun making this piece and watching it come to life. I was looking forward to seeing her reaction and when it did it was well worth it.
