My Dad for being a good example of what a man should be. My Mom for showing me what true strength of character was by how she took care of Dad during his final years.

I have an image I am going off of from an abortion website. It will not be exact, because of color choices, but I know what you mean about looking up fetus... it is some graphic stuff! Next week I was going to work more on the fetus, I haven't worked as hard as I did the background, because and only because I just had a rough sketch of what I wanted to portray, not the image to look from... next week it will be finished, mostly. But I agree about the gravestones, the stair affect works!!!
about my drawing--i haven't drawn in about 2 or so years so this was my first one, i actually like it pretty better than the others, i don't know i guess i like the abstract look of it!
