"A Survivor Encomium": First Minibook

Creating my first minibook was exciting. I decided to do a minibook of drawings because I wanted to practice sketching. I also used color because it adds personality to the faces and people I drew.

I really enjoy drawing celebrities!

I came up with the concept because we are all survivors of something that has shaped our lives whether it be: racism, sexism, prejudice, hate, controversy, hardship, obstacles, or illness. The list goes on and on. Survivors inspire me to press on. One of my favorite quotes is:

"When the going gets tough, the tough get going." (Unknown author). I hope everyone enjoyed reading and looking at the illustrations in my minibook. I enjoyed creating it.
