Like Father, Like Son
Completed with 2B and a little 4B pencil, on 8 1/2" x 11" paper.
A lovely Father and Son drawing. A little secret, the guy on the left (the son) is my boyfriend Gonzo. I tend not to draw people I know, or see on a regular basis, because I can't draw them accurately. Like myself, if you ask me to draw myself I look like a skewed version of myself. Sometimes I look really angry, or really old, because I see things other people might not. It's my interpretation of myself and I'm always told "you don't look like that". But with Gonzo, drawing him was weird...in a good way. I think it looks exactly like him. But while drawing him, and looking at the photo I was provided with, I was noticing features that I have started to overlook over the years. We've been together almost 7 years, so yeah, I guess it's allowed to not pay attention every second anymore. His dad, well the drawing looks like the photo I was provided with, but he looks slimmer now.
Since it's Gonzo's birthday, I figured I would honor him by posting on his birthday (and that makes 2 for the month! And all in one week! How about that?!)

Great talent, I'm jealous.
I admire anyone who has artistic abilities, I have none!
