86



Two drawings for my cousin: the first is more realistic and the second I tried to do in a more illustrative style like the previous two drawings that I did of me and my kids and the one of Stephanie's children. It is pretty hard when you've only seen one photo of a child you've never met. Hopefully one of these will work for her... she's giving it to this little one's parents as a baptism gift. I feel very privileged to be asked!

Beth, these are darling! I love them both! You have really captured the "light" in his eyes that makes little ones come alive in pictures. I know the parents will absolutely love having these priceless drawings!

Wow, they're both so sweet. I think she'll love both of them very much. I know what you mean about creating something based on someone you've never met. Not to compare kids to dogs (LOL), but whenever I make a custom sock dog, I always ask the owner to give me lots of details about their personality...I really need to have that dog in my head before I can start.

Love these, Beth!

I like the realistic drawing the best. I just want to pick this child up and hear the giggle that seems to be hiding down there. This is a great baptism gift and a keepsake for life!
