This little cutie pie is a commission photo I got a couple days ago.  I had so much fun working on her.  How could you not just love drawing that face?  :) 

I did spend an hour on her and an extra 10 min getting in the background.  I'll probably add some darker shading in the background later. 

Many of you have asked if I think this blog project of mine is helping me get better.  In answer, practice makes perfect.  I don't think you can draw a portrait every day and not get a little better.  I can see a change I think . . . I'm hoping this is helping me get quicker and more accurate.
