Soooo... Sorry lots of human's lately.
But...
Finished!
Learned a few more lessons... One about needing drafting tape. Tape that baby down! You can bend your paper and crease it... And it will make you cry. ( see where I signed my name ;_; ,thank god it was tiny, but made sure I added a discount)
Also... I learned about the importance of NEVER touching the picture ANYWHERE. Finger prints make shading almost impossible to correct, unless that is the type of shading you are doing... Thank god I only flubbed up on the very outer edges. I had a piece of paper taped to my right hand the whole time... Next time one will be taped to my left too.
Looking at it now.., I could have gone a bit darker, a smoother background, and a bit more work on the hair. But it's a learning process! I'm going to get there! Yet, overall, happy with this cute little guy!

yeah I'm okay. The public deaths of all the famous ones isn't an issue, sad yes but they don't totally affect me that much.
My daughter just lost her companion pet guinea pig but it was kind of traumatic for her and I couldn't get to her, nor could I help. Its her first time living away from home. My head tells me I didn't fail her but my heart isn't on the same page. She took such amazing care of the little one. When I left that message it was a very raw emotion and I was balling my eyes out. fluffy hugs were what I needed and they brought me back from a dark place. Thank you
*hugs*

I kinda understand how you feel... I don't think that feeling will ever go away, but no you didn't fail her. And we both know sometimes it's just a very sad thing that can't be helped when one of our furry babies passes. I am so sorry that happened to your daughter. I think you just helped me understand my own mother a bit better too.
* more fluffy hugs... Some for your daughter too*

Thanks hun. Like I said my head knows I didn't fail her, it will just take a little time to convince my heart, I guess I'm hurting for and with them. The initial reactions are passing, the tears are drying and head is starting to convince the heart that its all part of life, Vic will learn and be okay. Guinea was old so we think it was old age.
I tell my offspring that you send fluffy hugs. At 24 they are still our little ones and you hope that you have prepared them for almost anything. I couldn't drive to where she lives, couldn't get to her at all or lend her the money to deal with the issues financially. Vic has seen loss in many forms, human and animal but this one was the first that was of a pet totally under their control with no fall back.
I'm hoping that it won't stop her loving a future pet. *hugs*
ps: the baby pic above brought me to tears when I first saw you working on it because it so beautiful and beautifully executed. I've never seen these forms of pencil art until you showed me. Its wonderful. *hugs*

I am finding kids never stop being our babies... Or my mom never stops being "Mom"
*Hugs*old age is hard being away for the first time can be hard.
24 is still young! That's when I came to Japan.
I am sure she will go on to love more furry babies. It might take awhile though.
And thank you soooo much! I am glad you are enjoy my work! I have always loved these pencil portraits, but about 3 years back is when I saw ones like these. I was facinated.
