Making a painting portrait for my best friend in honor of her mum.

Hello everyone,

Good morning to you all. I realized some people come into your life and prove to be an heaven sent. They even become close to you more than your own blood at times. An example of such people is my friend @monica-ene. I met her when we were in the University when I was in dire need of a friend as I had no friend at that time. We were both two confused freshers who sticked together from day one. Since then, she had never leave my side. It was her birthday some weeks ago and unfortunately I was unable to get her a present. I figured the best present I could give her is a painting of her mum who sadly passed away while we were still in school.
Yesterday I surprised her with the painting and she was really happy to see it. I'm glad that atleast brings happiness to her face.

For the drawing, I drew on Autodesk Sketchbook and I used the following brush:
