Where in the World is Kristie Bentley???

Hi girls....I have been meaning to blog...truly, I have! Lots going on around here, and conveniently it has to happen before my anniversary! Our wedding anniversary is coming up on the 27th, I've been swamped on the Sis thread (love it though, it's turned out to be a BLAST once the one and only determent was removed).

Got these yesterday, so this is what I have been doing:

Mark wanted a caricature of himself, so I sure gave him one! He kept picking it up and saying "Do my eyes really look like that?" and "I don't have such a big soul patch". Goof....well, a caricature is not supposed to really LOOK like a person, it's just supposed to resemble them. I have to finish his shirt, but I'm not sure yet if I want to add a shirt or a itty bitty body.




Like a said, a caricature is not supposed to really LOOK like the subject:

This one is called "I Wish"...LOL! Yeah, that's me:




Here's some other random sketches. Now that I have gotten these out of the way for anniversary gifts, and a gift for Mark's mother, I am free to draw my favorite subject....Bryce! And I am working on a special portrait of two little girls, who took my heart when I first laid eyes on them.

Random sketch of eyes for caricature practice:




This is Mark when he was about 5, and I did this one for his mama:



Yep....me! I am a bit bothered by the big shadow along my jawline, so I will have to revise a bit:
