Description ... is HARD. but incredibly fun too ^^

just practicing (learning) how to draw children for the children's book i'm illustrating. just getting a feel for the proportions and stuff. kids are so much fun to draw! especially their little noses! >w< But next i'll have to learn how to draw old people... i try not to think about it... old ppl are hard! why must the main character in the books be an old lady?! why?!

anyhoo, i found out i love Norman Rockwell's style for drawing children, and i think i'll be using a simplified version of his style for the books... but it's still too early to tell. anyway, hope you like 'em!

Norman Rockwell was an incredibly famous illustrator who is still widely esteemed as one of the "greats," along with Leyendecker. Just search his name in Google Images and you should see a whole bunch of his art. His paintings involving children are so precious :3
