Mkay. Now that I didn't have a goofy looking, badly-proportioned baby on my hands, it was time to move on to the little girl. She might be the most difficult of the three. Not because she's the smallest or anything, but because of the face she's making. In the picture I'm going off of, she's not quite smiling... she's making like... a monkey face! Haha. Since she's a little baby, I understand her expression. It's so hard to paint though! Her top lip is gone entirely because she's got her lower lip pulled up. The left side is cracked into something like a smile... who knows? My main problems here are trying to make her look happy (because that clearly comes across in the phot
o), and not making her bottom lip look too big or like it's sticking out. Like her brothers, she's not facing completely forward either so I have to figure out how to make her nose look like it's pointing to the left. Lots of nose problems with this painting. But it's a learning process and I'll be the better for it. I also realize that I need to go back and bring the oldest boys eyes closer together now that I'm looking at these pictures...Working late tonight so I'm not sure if I'll be able to get any painting done, but I'll definately draw something.
