These two beautiful people are my great grandparents, John and Helen. In this piece I used a mix of India ink, charcoal, and pencil. It is not incredibly detailed because the photo I had to work off of wasn't. It was taken somewhere around 1920. My great grandparents had just got hitched and were off the boat they came in through Ellis Island.
