The Nonna Maria Drawing Challenge Draw Your Granny or Grandpa or Any Relative that You Love!

Now that you have watched Nonna Maria\’s story, can you create an illustration or drawing of one of your grandparents (or any relatives that you love!), maybe also reflecting their kindness?

Here are some insights into my creations which hopefully will help inspire you in your drawings:
