Sneak Peek: Pencil Portraits

I am currently working on a portrait of three kids dear to my heart. Here is a sneak peek as to what I've been working on. I also have one more commissioned portrait to finish up before Christmas (picts of that coming...also a trio portrait). The brothers are done, and the sister should be done tomorrow night at the very latest. I will reveal the final trio when it is closer to Christmas (some things must remain a secret after all) but I couldn't resist showing you these tidbits:

Studio Inspiration Board

I completely changed my inspiration board tonight on a whim. I think it illustrates my obsession with the past...both nostalgic and historic. How else could you explain Marie Antoinette (as played by Kirsten Dunst), Grace Kelly, Audrey Hepburn, and the Little Mermaid appearing in the same collage? Then again, this board only has to make sense to me. :) Nevertheless, I really love it especially from my view right here at my work table!
