For this artwork, I drew my dad. Although I don’t see him a lot, he has still played a large part in my life. Every time I look at this picture I see his large beaming smile coming through, even though he looks a bit serious. The whole time I was trying to figure out the best angle for his face, we were joking and having fun as he kept making weird and silly faces. I honestly wish we could do this more often.
