    Charming little portrait. I love the expression and hair texture, and getting things spot-on on a baby's face-shape isn't easy.

      For portraits I use an overhead projector for the first few minutes to get all the demarcations correct. The piece at that stage looks like a "connect the dots" type of thing. Then I tack it up to my easel or on my drawing board, with the reference shot stuck up to the left, and spend the next few hours lazily putting in the shading. This was simple because I have so many pictures of my friend's granddaughter for sours materiel...I decided on pastels and did not "bear down" on them to create a very soft look. Most importanly though, I'M GLAD YOU LIKED IT Big Smile

        Oh, that's cool. Smile We've got a sort of projector-y thing in the art lab at school which I've used occasionally if I need something to be perfect, but I don't always have access to that.
