Alex, Sharon, Chris, Mary Jane : thank you!
I must admit that the profile of my daughter is my very favorite of what I did this summer too... Maybe it's because a profile is a bit easier than a 3/4 view, so I had time to add artistic emotion, and not concentrate only to draw things right...

Yes, she has very thick glasses which distort a lot. I hate drawing them, but it's a part of her, I can't ignore them. Her glasses are generally falling on her nose, so I can see half of her eyes at the right size, and the other half, very reduced, and the outline of the cheek bone displaced. All this on a moving little subject! It's always a challenge to catch her glare.
