Drawings for friends

Remember, the greatest gift is not found in a store nor under a tree, but in the hearts of true friends.' 

I started drawing from an early age as a fun and self accomplishing activity. But now I use it as  a gift I can give to others and I also use it as an outlet for anger and stress. I take inspiration from nature, spirituality and my biggest mentor artist is del kathryn Barton.

My First drawing this year was just a fun drawing of a Dear below:

I showed my friend this drawing and she loved it and wanted one badly! So I asked her what her favourite animal was and made a cat. 

As I was drawing these I realised that I could make people happy with my drawings so I didnt stop there, I created drawings for most of my really close friends. The next person to ask was Nicole's sister. SHe asked for an Elephant and this is how it turned out:

I then decided to draw one for my Best friend Kelsie and realised I could create a very personalised drawing through the animals and designs. So I asked her what her favourite animals was: and impala. what her favourite flower was: a daisy and what her favourite symbol was: the sun. And this is how it turned out: 

I just recently did a drawing for my friends 18th as a card to go with a present. It too has her favourite flower and her favourite symbol. I researched a little bit about the fox and it said its a protector of evil, which I believe is a good value the fox has for my friend. This is how the fox turned out:

My next project was to draw a Pug for a friend, it too has her favourite flower and symbol...

My other best friend also Loves snakes, and space so I incorporated the moon and stars in the snakes pattern:

And finally, the drawing I just finished last night is the turtle in space for one of my good friends Oli. He loves space and asked for a turtle and this is how it turned out:
