Painting Sian and Poppy

I woke up feeling like all I wanted to do was sleep, and sleep, and then, sleep some more. So I didn’t go to Mind, or anywhere, or do anything for a bit. Then I decided to draw a picture of my sister and my niece Poppy, from a photo I took of them a couple of weeks ago, and adore. Here are all the steps.
(Click any of the pictures for a bigger version.)
Pencil sketch
Penned version
I decided I liked the sketch too much to possibly wreck it by inking over the lines and painting it, so I did another sketch. I had to trace parts of the face, I admit that, I’m terrible with faces. That’s why my sister looks a little weird and Poppy’s mouth is messed up a bit in the penned over version.
Finished watercolour.
And thus, my day was filled and I was distracted from my depression and low mood. Tomorrow will be better, probably, ’cause my mood is a bit unstable at the moment and every day is different.
