Michelle Dunaway 

     Michelle Dunaway is one of the artists that caught my attention in the book named " Sketchbook Confidential 2". Her portraits have landed her in many collections and publications, including North Light's STROKES OF GENIUS best-of-drawing series.

Michelle's drawings are very interesting as she has great control of the tones of lights in her drawings. 

"Sketches, paintings and drawings are visual records of what you are paying attention to in life."

Therefore, her drawings included some funeral elements as they are gre...
