Throughout the course of my life thus far I have lost a lot of people close to me. Never does it become easier and in fact I think it hurts a little more realizing that one day you may be the only one left. I started drawing portraits of the people I've lost before the funeral as a mourning/coping mechanism. Here is a small collection of those portraits, along with one I did just for fun.
