Artist's Comments

My extended family has been having a reunion every Thanksgiving since 1863. A couple years ago, my 'rents and I hosted it, and this is the pic I drew for the invitation.

Very simple pencil and ink drawing of a civil war couple. Not my best effort at the hands, but I must say I'm quite proud of her sleeves! :)

Oooh! Very classy! I adore the slight yet strong shading in comparison to a full color or shade:)

Yah, I was going for sort of a daguerreotype/antique photo feel.

Thank you so much! ^^

I generally feel more comfortable with colors than with trying to do black & white stuff, so this was a bit of a stretch for me.

Yay! :)
