hi, i made this digital sketch back on a laptop with a mouse in 2009. i was in a specific residnetial home and i was caufhr in rhe middle of one service user throwing plant pots at a care staff.

i didnt know what to do,i had my PECS book in one hand and nothing in the other,so to process it in my head,i sketched it on my laptop-with nothing that coud make people recognise the people in it.

so i found it the other day on my old crappy external hard drive,ive put it on my computer and ive edited it a little in adobe lightroom CC and photoshop CC as i pay for them monthly.

unfortunately i coudnt draw anything like this now on a computer/or my ipad as my hands are shaky and uncontrobale due to severe widespread peripheral neuropathy,and i have no idea what windows program i used, it might have been the free artrage demo.

-an edit--i didnt realise there was dot of some colour on this canvas im sure i edited it out,just ignore the dot,ill have to see where ive stored the picture without it.

I love this! Amazing detail. I would have found the care worker’s trousers not meeting her top highly annoying but I’m an older lady who is bothered by things like that. While I am replying, just want to say how really useful I find the comments you make on these threads. I have picked up a lot of good tips from you and your knowledge about payment cards solved a problem I’d had for a long time. I went for FairFX in the end. Thank you.
