Drawings from life made on a Megasketcher magnetic screen with a stylus, photographed on a mobile phone and then erased; the image ceases to exist as a unique object and can be reproduced and shared only in its digital form.
This was my first and is of my daughter. It's the first time I have drawn her for years, since she left home.
I've gone on to draw portraits at public events such as Made in Roath in Cardiff and found it very accessible method for everyone to enjoy. The combination of a child's toy and my skills seems to work.
