Thinking about process

I’m working on portraits of suuuuch cute kids. You’ll see them eventually. I’ve spent all afternoon getting one of the “drawings” right. (I finally got it!) Sometimes that becomes tedious, but I’ve learned the hard way not to jump in with color until I can see the likeness in my lines. It may take a while, but it results in far less frustration down the line. The same goes for the half-hour portraits, only in a much more condensed time frame! You can see that some of those drawing lines remain, which I like.
