A Special Request

Since school had started up again, I had sadly abandoned my papers and pencils...a tragedy indeed. Spending most of my time finishing up projects and papers was what most of my semester consisted of, until I was commissioned to draw a little something.
One day at work my boss realized that I could draw and decided that she wanted me to draw up a special little someone as a Christmas gift for a fellow co-worker. Without thinking, I said yes...not taking into account that it was near the end of the semester and I was loaded with work to do. Either way, I got the picture and placed it on my desk, that is where it stayed for a while until it became rather close to the due date. About a week and a half before the picture was due I decided  that I was going to get the picture out of the way (not to mention I was getting rather antsy!)
So I finally sat down and drew her, she took me about three days to complete all together. I was very satisfied at the outcome. As I have mentioned before, I am rather bad at drawing people, so for her to come out looking the same as in her actual photo was a great relief! ;) My little model is a doll and was a pleasure to sketch.

Coming along...

Now, even though I was rather stressed and freaking out about this drawing, I finally got it done, and the reaction on the grandmother's face when she saw it was priceless and completely worth all of the stress and freaking out ;) A success it was...and I will say...I would do it again if someone asked me to!! I guess I never learn...

Finished!
