This drawing began from life, but, alas, what young person wants to sit for a portrait - not many. And I tried letting her watch a movie while I drew, but the pose kept changing, so - thank goodness for cameras! You know, of course, that I'm not much of a photographer, but I did the best I could, and here we are - 11 x 14" on Borden and Riley Paris paper for pens. I love that slick surface for drawing. Thanks for stopping by!

You made me smile when you say "what young person wants to sit for a portrait", Connie!
I've been painting my two small children in the last month, and I paint all of them, 16 so far, from photos. I'd be insane to ask a 3-yeard-old and a 1-year-old to sit for a portrait! LOL
The mid-tones are great.. Looks more to be from life than a photo.. Wouldn't have known.
this drawing is beautiful, Connie. I take photos all the time especially if I'm painting the grandkids...they would never stay still, for even a photo! LOL
Hi Lucy - yes, I think photos must be the way to go with kids! Glad you stopped by!
A very nice compliment, Anthony - thank you!
Hi Hilda - it is really hard to get them to be still - I've had the same experience - thanks for stopping by!
