Ma & Pa on the Train to Fort William 

Here are the humans that made me. My folks are a formidable team. So incredibly different, yet so complementary in their strengths and weaknesses. It's very rare that I have them sitting across from me so I relish any moment I have with them. I like this sketch because I feel that it captures them well. My Pa is easier to draw than my mum as he sits quite still.. either deep in thought, observing something, or nearly nodding off. Ma is looking out the window of the train here busy taking in all she can. She's also very aware of me, which makes her nervous. That's ok though. The wrigglers are the most challenging but that's not a bad thing. Fun to draw the contrast in their characters side by side. x
