What was your inspiration?

i wanted to see what i could do and see if i could recreate my grands image

What are you most proud of?

that i finished it

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

take your time. i was in a rush so i messed up her eyes - i should have used a pencil instead of a marker until i got her eyes right. also the size of the image was too small - will make larger next time. i also got lazy and just sat there and colored the background. it was relaxing like when i was a child i just sat there and pulled out a pencil to color.

Very nice. Yes the bigger the image the better. That way the features are easier to deal with. But you have done a great job. Be proud of yourself because I am proud of you. The colors are wonderful. I love the background.
