This is the 3rd time I drew my White mom Carol but on phone. It still took some struggle just like when it's on the paper and many days sleeping on it.
And one day I opened up the drawing app and saw the pencil outline with fresh eyes, I easily spotted what needed to be fixed, and it was one of her eyes.
And like I said before, when the eyes are done right, the rest will follow. So quickly I tweaked that one eye and the next thing is I finished the drawing. In the car. And in the dark. :)
Drawing my own dad was so difficult that I just couldn't believe it. I still can't believe it. I literally non-stop drew and erased for hours on my phone and it took a few days to finally got it.
I thought my dad's iconic triangle eye shape would be so easy to capture the essence but it was the opposite.
I was exhausted afterwards and I just decided to leave it like a pencil drawing. Sent it to my dad and he thought he looked handsome, so mission accomplished.
