Memories – IF
Memoirs | Watercolor on moleskine
The challenge at Illustration Friday this week is to illustrate ‘memories’. Thought I draw little me. It was based from an old photo that my mother kept; I was 5. I can’t begin to count the number of times that I’ve sat back and remember all the memories of my childhood. We used to live in an army camp by the sea. It was a beautiful neighborhood with everything that any kid could ask for – neighbors that knew you by name, a store that sold your favourite junkfood and silly toys, a perfectly blue sky in the morning and a green beautiful forest so deep that you thought you’d be lost forever.
