The top drawing I did in 2007 and the bottom one I did in 2008. I am amazed to see the difference between these two drawings, though they were done only a year apart. I do think that I'd like to do another drawing of this picture now that it's been 3 years. The difference would be fun to see.

These two drawings were both done in 2009. At that point in my life, my sketches were simple, and had rough shading; and took about 15 minutes - 1 hour to complete.

These drawings are the same picture but there is a 2 year difference between them. The one on the left I did in 2007 and the one on the right I did in the winter of 2009. The eyes on the right one I made them really sparkle though in the picture they are quite dull because she is crying in that scene. I used a HB pencil to get her outline done, than a 5B and 9B pencils to get the black really black.
