This particular pencil sketch was done for Becky - 
for those of us who know her, we know there are no others like her, Diana, the comment box is waiting for you….
I drew this on a rainy sunday afternoon knowing Becky’s birthday was coming. With plans to go see Sting in concert I thought it was a great way to send her off for her weekend adventure to Washington.
I first started out with several pictures of Sting, and have one where he sat solemly on a set of city stairs, in one quick view it looked like him, but this one captured his essence, it captured something celestial that Becky is all about with a little bit of help from photoshop, I added the moon in the background. This pencil sketch was done with a woodless graphite pencil HB.
When I first met Becky from what I heard of her, I was not sure we would get along, it was.. Becky - The Woman, The Myth, The Legend all in an hour and a half interview. I did not know whose shoes I was filling nor did I know if I could stand in them and walk with as much grace. I never imagined what a true and honest person that I was about to meet. I owe alot of my knowledge on SEO and Internet Marketing to her, and her thirst for knowledge was a driving force in my insatiable quest as well. A friend that I will carry with me, no matter what road I choose to travel. No strings, no judgement, and NO DOUBT!
Soul to Soul ~
