Large Family Portrait in Pencil
I have now finished work on this large family portrait. I think it worked out pretty well and I tried my best matching the scan to the original. I scanned it in a few pieces and joined on my laptop, so some of the shading might look darker or paler than it is in reality….

The plan originally was to create a subtle landscape background with some greenery, but at the last minute I have decided to keep it much simpler.
