This piece was my 5th original drawing and completely made with Graphite Pencils. I had been looking for an opportunity to take on a drawing where the ‘Bokeh’ effect was present. As soon as my sister showed me her holiday pictures, I knew I had found the composition I was after.
This piece took me 27 hours to complete. I was most delighted with the tonal range in this piece and how I managed to render Dean's shirt, which came out better than expected as I was most scared of this element to the drawing and left it till the end. To date (2025), this artwork still remains one of my personal favourites, not only because it's of my Sister and her husband, but the effect I managed to produce by creating depth, making the subjects feel closer to the viewer, still amazes me to this day.
