Thank you so much Michael, I truly do appreciate your encouragement.

I guess I wasn't yet going for a high degree of finish. I will certainly at some point soon. I just feel i need to get a better grasp of anatomy at this point. It's much easier looking at a photo, as long as you can see, you really don't need to understand in the way that you need to with a moving target. In the drawing of Lilah on the stump, it not only doesn't look like her, but i've drawn her legs way too long. Doing the hand and foot sketches, I'm going to try for more detail. I realize that I'm going to need to do hundreds of these little sketches frankly. I'll try to be more discriminating in what I post. When you say you like the first sketch, did you mean the one of my son's face or the one of Lilah standing? Noah's is labeled #1, but hers is the first... (edit- I have moved Noah's to the post below)

I titled this thread "drawing children from life", but I'll be doing paintings as well.

Thanks again Michael.
