last look before sleep

I drew this when I was pregnant and couldn't sleep! It's drawn on 8X10 sheet of bristol board. I used a yellow eberhard faber #2 pencil with a green eraser!(my favorite) I hope you like it!

Lisa, this is truly a wonderful drawing! Your attention to detail is very high!! The baby is adorable! Is this baby yours? Excellent presentation!!! ~S

Artist Reply: No this picture isnt of my baby...I was pregnant and saw a baby in a magazine making that sleepy face so I drew that emotion and did a little here and there to make it my own :-) Thank you for all of your support! I am just getting back into drawing after years of giving up, all of the support is really encouraging and I can't wait to show more of my work! Thank you sooo much!
