My Mum

My Mum by Chloe Zhang  (12 y/o) sketched on a 11.69" x 16.54" paper ; Dec 2025, Auckland, New Zealand.

My artwork is about my mum, who is my hero. The picture is based on a photo when she was young. It is also her favourite photo, which makes it very special to me. I drew this portrait using a carbon pen, pencil, and colouring pencils. I used shadows and different kinds of lines to show her face and emotions. My mum is my hero because she is strong, kind, and always takes care of our family. She supports me and encourages me to try my best. Through this painting, I want to express my love and admiration for her.
