Sweet Little Mandy

This is the finished drawing of Mandy, my niece(your might have seen the wip's on my blog). My sister got it last weekend and I could tell she was happy to receive it, which made it all worth it. I put a lot of time into it, it's always much harder for me to complete drawings of close family, maybe because it's a bit more personal.
I chose this particular pose as I wanted something else than cute smiley, not sure why. This girl got so much personality and I wanted it to show somehow.

Made with graphite pencils on Winsor&Newton drawing paper.
About 8x11inches | 21x29cm
