Description
This is originally a drawing I did of my 13-15 yr old teenage son while he was relaxing on the lounge reading. He was a very long and lanky looking youth who grew up to be over 6 feet tall.
I had the original drawing of this artwork in an old album and decided I wanted to give it to him when he was an adult. Consequently the drawing has old album marks on it, since I wasn't thinking of this as something that needed to be professionally thought about for the future etc; given that I was a stay at home mum at the time with 3 younger children. But I feel this stripey effect gives this picture an unusual abstract effect as well as aging it which can also be interesting. The sky and cloud effect was digitally created to give the drawing subject matter a sense of being lifted off the page and into a fantasy realm up into the sky, somewhere that stories can often transport one in a sense.
