This is gorgeous Jo and your step-daughter is such a pretty girl. She must be thrilled to bits – fantastic work.
Thanks so much Karen. Mia hasn’t seen it yet – but she is my biggest critic (blame it on the innocence of childhood!) so I’m interested in her opinion.

Wow, that’s fantastically real, how do you get your pencil work so smooth
Wow, fantastically real. her skin is so smooth and her eyes sparkle. Excellent portraiture:-)
Thanks Joanne. The skin consists of lots of layers of graphite heavily blended with a cotton makeup pad and then I use a kneadable eraser to gently highlight areas. I also use a sharp wedge eraser to get all the fine highlights like teeth and inside the eyes :)
