My daughter spends about thirty percent of her time drawing, with one of her bedroom walls covered in her work. She recently started a new project drawing five full-size characters, using mainly Caran D'ache Supracolor pencils and Winsor and Newton Promarkers. After fifteen to twenty hours work, here is her first finished character!
Sometime next year she'll be starting some GCSE studies, so this may be her last big art project for a while. I'd love her to try her hand at illustration one day, but if she only does it as a hobby to make her happy and help her relax, it's good enough!
There's no way my children could have time to do something like this if they were spending 6+ hours at school five days a week. I'm so grateful that they have the time to be as creative as this. 😍
