That took forever! Although it probably shouldn’t have. Those who have been following me for a good long time know that I have a tradition every year, where I do a piece of artwork that spans two years. I start it just before New Year’s, and ideally I finish it right after midnight in the next year.

Uhhhhhh, alas, this year it’s March, which is quite a while after midnight. >> But this is indeed the drawing I started last year! Whoops. All told it was probably six to eight hours of pushing a pencil around. Not very long, and most of it was done in one sitting, but this year things have been so topsy turvy that I took a very long time to be able to sit still for it.

I decided towards the end of last year that I was going to challenge myself to doing a pencil portrait. It’s based on a photograph of my wonderful boyfriend, TimmCosplay that I took during one of our walks while I was visiting him last December. I admit, it also took me a while because capturing a likeness is nerve-wracking as can be and I was scared to try and finish in case I screwed it up, but I’m actually pretty proud of how this one turned out! It looks better in real life, but this is a decent capture from my cheap scanner. :3

Love this guy. <3 Love this guy so much. I try to pick a subject for my New Year’s picture that’s meaningful to either the past year or the future one, and he fits for both. He picked me up and got me back on my feet last year, and the future is bright for the both of us. <3 Eee.
