I stalked some friends on facebook, printed off pictures of them (in black and white), then cropped them (3x5). Although many people have been great influences in my life or have helped me to be more of the person I want to be, I only chose 15 of those individuals to draw for a final project last semester. I used 5 shades of gray markers and a grid to draw them. I started off with the darker shades then moved to the lighter shades. Not all of them are perfect, since it was my first time working with markers, so some of them were a bit of a learning curb.
