Very nice! Her smile is so wide, innocent, and sincere - I think that's my favorite part of the whole illustration. Her cape and dress are also nicely done; you really have a way with textures of clothing, you make them look real and almost touchable. And the background is fantastic - in both senses of the word.

Thank you so much, your comments are always so sweet! I agree about her pretty smile, it was the hardest part to get right because it was the most striking thing about her.

good work again, you definitely have a way with kids' faces. I'd say it would look so much better in colour tho?..

Thanks Irina, this one and "Joyful" are my first ever portraits of kids, so it's been an experiment. I agree, I would have liked to do this one in color, but the girl I work with wanted it in charcoal. It's fun to work in black and white once in a while, though.

You're welcome! I liked the soft colours in Joyful. Think it'd work with this one, too

You're so right, I keep thinking that this would look so sweet in pastels. I guess that's because I'm so used to working in color. I would have done this one in soft yellows and greens, I think. Maybe sometime I'll try coloring it in Photoshop.

Yeah, I like the bunny too! This was actually a First Communion picture and she was holding a little cross, but I couldn't really make it out. Ithought a bunny would be sweeter anyway.
