52Frames Chaos Week 44

52Frames Details Week 43

52 Frames Black and White Minimalism Week 42

52Frames Portrait of a Stranger Week 37

  The challenge this week is Portrait of a Stranger and I wasn't sure I was going to do it. I spent a lot of time looking at pictures of people I don't know. None of them I found very interesting. In the end I chose a photo I had, and drew two people I didnt know...
