I made this marker portrait of my husband Keith (Biker Buddy) from memory today--I usually draw him looking at him. But I've studied his face so much drawing it that I remembered fairly well. One thing I cannot do without looking is the folds in his shirt--I could learn a lot from Anders.
I did the marker portrait on 9 x 12 water-color paper (I like watercolor paper!). It's too big to go in the mole or pocket, so I made a print of it for Aya, since I have her mole right now. (Underneath is a pile of poems for that fellowship I'm working on.)
The markers I made it with were all from holiday gifts, some from mole people--thank you!
The images will get bigger if your click them.

This is really fabulous Mary! By the way, i absolutely loved your cards - thank you soooooo much! Can I ask who your printing company is - they turned out so well. My wife sends you a big thanks as well!
I printed them at home and made them by hand. I'm glad you liked them. Hennie likes them too--i think--LOL!
Thanks, Steve.
Tell your wife she's very welcome. :-D
Thanks Mary!
I used a regular inkjet printer and Matte Photo paper.
