Week 14: Newborn.

Pencil on paper. 8x10 in.

This is a sad story, this is a picture of a sweet child that passed away shortly after birth. A lady contacted me and wanted this picture drawn for her friend, the child's mother. The baby was expected to be healthy so the death was so unexpected. The only picture they have of him was taken with a cell phone, and the friend had to photoshop the breathing tube out of the picture. I've never done a picture like this, I can't imagine how hard that kind of loss would be.
