Back to When We Were Young

For a Christmas present last year, I did a pencil portrait of my brother and his wife from when they were little.

I'll have to track down the original photos of each of these to show the before and after.

I love this one of Josh. It's probably one of my favorites.

This was from my sister-in-law's favorite photo of when she was little. The hard thing about this one was that the original picture had her face no bigger than my thumb with poor lighting & quality, but we made do anyway.

It's really fun to walk into their dining room and see these two pictures framed on their hutch :)

Birthday Cupcake

This is one 'sweet' moment definitely worth remembering!

and here are a few photo's of the process...

Capture more than just a Photo

*disclaimer: I'm finding it very hard to get a descent picture of the drawings. Better pictures to come soon.
