The Gift


Here is my first sketch for the project. I'm still working on the character.
Not really sure if I like this first one just yet, so she may change.
I know that it will be an african american child and the other
an Asian child. It's coming up with a gift for each to give.
I wanted to do something that would speak to the talent in both childern. HELPPPPPPPP!!!!

  2. I really admire how well you create expressions on your characters. The little girl in the foreground looks totally perplexed about what to purchase with her money... if it helps, I would vote for the art supplies. =)
    I need to get going on my sketch for Watercolor Wednesday as well, seems like the clock ticks a little faster this time of year.

  7. I think she's wonderful-- but that's your decision to make. :-)

    You really have a knack for capturing people's expressions and doing so in a subtle way. Just love your characters.

  8. I like her. As a sketch, she has a perfect position and even gives me cold, brrrrrr. But I think you don´t need some help, he he he. You always do it "fantasticly" (I don´t know if this work exists...)

  9. You flatter me too much (and of course I like it ;) I'm glad things are okay for you. I think it takes a long time to feel closure on something difficult like that... especially because of her son. Anyway... I definitely will keep up a prayer for you and Hali's family. Take care dear sweet and amazingly talented friend!
