Lol yeah I usually do everythign in one session, it helps me maintain focus, i have different moods for different days and it often shows in my work if i span it out over a period of days haha, thanks Steph :)

Thank you, i havent created an infant portrait for quite some time actually, i was really nervous about doing it, I guess their features and skin texture are somewhat differnt to that of an adult and considered it a real challenge :)
