Comments by the artist

My girlfriend just had her hair cut short so I thought I'd draw her portrait to record the occasion. I love short hair and I think the style suits her.

It's been a while since I drew a portrait - I was a bit worried that I would struggle with it - but it came together quite quickly. Felicity didn't even complain that much!
