Description I've wanted to finish this one for a while, now, but something always came up . Or I wasn't in the mood. Or I tried to clean up the lines, but the "cleaning up" just drained the life and character from the pic.

Yeah, they're all wearing disgustingly matched clothes. And Big Sister seems to have detached, antigrav ears.

But I still like this pic, after all the years ago that I sketched it. Enjoy!

*Edit: fixed the fullview size. Sorry the first submit was so huge :blushing:
*Edit 2: I cropped the pic and added a border and a bit of highlight to Little Sister's hair. Thanks to not-sleeping for the advice!

Yes, I've been considering it I have a story written that I just need to edit, and then plot out the pictures. With any luck, I'll send it out this summer. (Plus I have other stories that I could do that are waiting, from the time I was a children's storyteller) Thanks for the encouragement and your comments!

Thats super cool, I like how you didn't clean up the lines too much, they give it alot of movement and energy. Its looks like a lot of fun, and now I want antigrav ears too

Fantastic! That border really sharpened the whole piece up, moving the edge closer to little brother also took care of the space breaking issue Love the highlights too, definitely a rounder little sis on the go

Love the scene you've depicted here, what I get most from it is a feeling of simple joy. You've made really strong use of your positive and negative space, though the left side of the image (with the little boy) could use a bit of breaking up to really balance the piece. The younger girl has a really flat head compared to her siblings, it makes her look out of place and doesn't resonate as well with the rest of the image. Other than that, maybe a small border might not be a bad idea. You've got great stuff happening with the subtle toning in your background colouring that I think would be enhanced by a defined boundary.
Overall it's a wonderful work, I enjoy the sketchy nature of your strokes and the subtle layers of colour you've built up

Thanks for the great comment! I'll look at breaking up the space by the boy, and getting the little sister's head not so flat Thanks again!

Thanks for the kind comment . (And from the picture, probably Big Sister has a cookbook behind her back--that and I've never made any cakes that didn't come in a box. Not without help :wink
