I wanted to try my hand at drawing more lively expressions, and where better to find those expressions, then from a toddler. Only problem with that is she wouldn't stay still or keep the expression for more than a few seconds. So I had to take quick photo graphs. I think I was able to capture the light-hearted and joyous facial expressions my neice was making. Using soft lines rather than harsh to keep the pieces from being too serious.

With this one, I managed to do it without having to take a photo, she was watching tv. Using a soft pencil again I was able to draw out a natural pose from my niece, before she noticed I was drawing here then moved. The second smaller one, she was standing at the coffee table eating. She moved again. Only problem with having a baby as a model, they move too much.
