Reference Photo: Hallie Mae, age 7, was calm and content waiting with the family for the cat show to begin at the McLean County Fair. Grandma said this photo revealed a little girl who is peaceful yet has just a hint of mischief in her eyes. She said that Hallie was a funny, clever, entertaining child that was very fond of animals and seemed happiest when surrounded by a menagerie of furry friends.
I will admit that the photo reference chosen for Hallie, in the beginning was not my favorite, but as I began to draw I saw everything Grandma was talking about.
Her hair looks a little "moist" from the heat of the day yet she is content. I tried to convey the mischief in her eyes and oh yes we had to include those lovely freckles.
