One Day Illustration

“It is one of the great cosmic mysteries. How it is that someone can go from being a total stranger, to being the most important person in your life.”

We’ve all been watching One Day on Netflix, haven’t we? Have you recovered yet? I loved how this adaptation of David Nicholls’ hugely popular novel had more time to breathe than the film version. It was so beautifully written, adapted and acted. And the final episode gave such a raw portrayal of grief. It’s really stayed with me.

I felt compelled to draw Dexter and Emma. You can watch the timelapse of my process below. I’ve added the illustration to my Shop if you’d like a reminder of this beautiful show.
