I have had SO much fun with this project. This is my favorite drawing so far. The book is ten pages long, along with a front cover, dedication and title pages.
Above you see my lovely model, Lorie, who commissioned the project. I LOVE her face. I did a photoshoot for reference photos--as you can see the camera loves her! I admit though, it was quite a challenge to make the dolls into little girls--but I think I have succeeded.
Happy Paint Party Friday, all you wonderful artists and beautiful people. God bless you, dear ones. Have a lovely weekend and thank you for dropping by.

Looks like your model took her job 'seriously' - she looks so natural!
Have a creative week!
So looking forward to seeing these all in color! Your work is amazing. Can not imagine how good it feels to work on such a memorable project.
What a lovely idea! she was right to ask you to do the artwork. Can't wait to see these in colour!
I think this is a wonderful project. It must be so much fun to collaborate with your friend. Such a creative idea to use the dolls. I hope you have lots and lots of fun working on this. I can't wait to see the finished book.
This is a great illustration, Beth! Of course your friend loved them! How fun to work on such a neat project with a friend. That was really a good idea to stage the dolls to get a better idea of proportions and placement. The "children" in your sketch look great. :-)
What a great opportunity
You must feel so flattered. What a great project. I can't wait to see more of it. Blessings, Janet PPF
wonderful job!
