Just married memorial




This couple just got married twenty nine years ago. Sadly the husband recently died. Their adult daughter commissioned this 11x14 pencil portrait from a wedding photo as a memorial to dad and as a surprise for mom on their upcoming thirtieth anniversary. I drew it with a Blackwing pencil which is 4B on Canson pure-white paper.
