Lotta från Västergötland

I drew this picture for my mother, who is from Sweden, for Christmas. She's wearing a traditional folk dress from her region of Västergötland. I wanted to depict her as a young adult, so I used my little sister as reference. I also tried to emulate Brittney Lee in the style. I think it turned out pretty well, and it was a good challenge. It was interesting, I do feel some emotion towards my art, but this is the first that I have been so close to tears when creating. I seem to have a deep connection to it, and I could tell my mom did as well.
