At age 10 I was asked to illustrate a novel about a father and daughter’s road trip through the US. The work included 11 original illustrations.
One of 11 illustrations for It’s a Lackluster Life

This was my first time ever working with fine charcoal. It was very messy and I had to take a considerable amount of time to clean the piece up after it was finished, but I enjoyed working with it. I sat in front of a mirror for an hour or so and drew myself.
