Artist's Note
I recognized Adriana Trigiani on my flight to Dayton, and then we shared a shuttle to the hotel. I could draw her all day, yet it takes very little lines to capture her likeness and personality. Sometimes you get a drawing right away; some people can be hard to draw. I did this in 5 minutes.
