I wish I could say this was my idea but it wasn't. One of our friends asked me to draw her wedding gown as a way of preserving it rather than storing it in a box. I knew that drawing silk would present certain challenges so I had to change a few things from my usual style. I wanted to draw Krissys gown first to make sure I could even pull it off (and I just wanted to draw hers first of course:). I wound up with different paper, pencils, and even using powdered graphite for the first time. The result was something unique and will forever be a reminder of our big day!

Drawing Number One!
This is my (Chad) first real drawing. Drawn way back in 1995 when I was 18 for my Drawing 101 class. I can't remember exactly how long it took to complete but I know I spent all of my spring break at my parents dining room table working. It was the only assignment I completed.I have sold many prints of it over the years and I have been offered thousands for the original. I guess I'm sentimental, I have never been able to let it go. I'll probably give it to my son someday!
PS. I got a B in that class because I skipped school too many times and went surfing!

My favorite one of all!! Krissy posing for me while I set up the shot. --I Love You! Chad
