Chicago #2 (After Surgery #3)
Naperville, IL ~ 2019
Charcoal on Gray Paper
24" x 18"
I did this second drawing after Ashok in the afternoon. I had him sit next to the window and this time, my friend Regina talked with him during the drawing. She asked questions about life with NF and thoughts about the drawing. This view is more difficult as it was the first time I tried to draw him in this view last year. This is because I cannot make eye contact with his good eye while I am drawing. It really helped to have my friend talk to him and keep him engaged in the process.
