A heart of gold

I'm not a figurine-collecting kind of girl, but this is on my dresser, as a daily reminder of my 'second mum', my boss from my first, beloved job in a bookstore. She gave it to me one Christmas, and I love it.



It's made to look like it's carved from timber (hence the angular lines at the base of the figure), and doesn't have a face, but I think its expression is lovely. :)

Drawn with Faber-Castell B graphite pencil.

  1. Agree! It's pretty, and looks cute at the same time. The artist must have had done his/her work with a lot of love too.
    Nice drawing!

  2. good idea to refresh your skills, drawings very nice. Don't be timid try a 6 or 8B pencil, you will get dark darks.
    Continued success!
