Pen Portrait of woman

Back to drawing portraits but subtracting and minimalising, inspired by my trip to the Manga exhibition at the British museum.

Sketch of the day no 1241 is of a portrait of woman using pen.

when the moon arrived without you

Some learn their purpose early in life, while others spend a lifetime questioning their identity. Only through seeking God’s will and cooperating with Him can we discover life’s purpose and find the reason for our birth. You never know what impact your life truly can have.
