This is a colour pencil work, which I have done from a b/w photo I took of my grandaugter,it is not freehand,it was a exercise to learn colour pencil work, I have wrote her a letter within the letter for her to keep.
does it matter if it was 'freehand' or not??? I should say this has turned out wonderfully no matter how it got to that state, (and you should think so, too). I'm sure she LOVES it! -Kerra
Gees Jen I thought this was a photograph. The work you did here is amazing. Her face, the skin tones right down to her belt, the ruffle on her shirt and the bed spread...all perfect.
