This is my final drawing of Kylie. She's been modeling at my house for several months now, and she has been planning to move to L.A. all along. This weekend she's finally doing it. She's leaving because she's young and wants to see more than Louisiana before she settles down. I gave her great encouragement, because she'll never have a better opportunity than this.
This drawing took a couple of hours. She's actually prettier than this, but I'm not a very good artist, and she doesn't stay still (drawing sessions are a regular part of our social lives, and we tend to talk the whole time).
Hopefully, when she comes home for visits she'll stop by and model for me again. I'm going to miss her. She's a good model, and local!
