IF:Diary
This week: Diary. Well, i never really kept a diary growing up. i would get them and start whole-heartedly writing daily…until about a week later when i gave up, or forgot or decided i didn’t like something i wrote in a previous entry and would have to forfeit all knowledge of myself. You see, I have a scary belief about writing so truthfully…someone may someday read it. That alone has scared me into thinking I must write only things that I wouldn’t mind someone else reading. Stupid, I know…especially since people like Anne Frank exist. Every time I think about her, or see her photograph(she resembles my mother) I feel sorrow and I am all at once proud and ashamed to be human. So, in her honor i spent an hour drawing her lovingly from my favorite snapshot. She is so happy and her hair is flipping in every which way. What a brave diary she wrote.

Great work! I like the detail drawing and sketchbook quality about this…yellow building is a nice touch! Bravo!

Hello there Brenna
This is truly a marvelous tribute to Anne Frank. You have captured both the innocence and the dark age she lived in.
