Ruby was the mother of a very good friend from Jr High through High School. During that time she was like a second mother to me and made the best sausage gravy and bisquits ever! She recently passed and will be dearly missed. I tried my best to capture her image but I know she deserves better. Rest in peace, Ruby.

I'm sure she was. She's being remembered in a beautiful way with your work. She'd be proud, I'm sure. :)

Have a nice day!!

I'm sorry for you loss, but I think this picture is absolutely beautiful and you did an excellent job. The shading technique you used is really unique and you totally pulled it off. Just stunning :heart:

Thank you. I used some stipple. The eyes, teeth, and where I wanted a gradual value change and couldn't get it with cross hatching alone.
