Recently I had the great pleasure to do three precious portraits of baby brothers. They are such cute little babies, I just kept staring at them while they rested on my art desk!
Here’s a peek at my portrait process:
-
- Sketched
-
- Underlayers
-
- Face complete
There’s always that middle point, when I begin to cover the bright colors, when I panic. And babies especially make me sweat, with their smooth little faces. You have to be so careful to keep all shadows and lines subtle, to keep their chubby cheeks chubby and their newness young.
Introducing three cute little buddies, and a huge thanks for this fun commission!

Beautiful… But then I come to expect nothing less from you Hunnybun.
God certainly must have liked your Mama to have blessed her with a child as talented as you.
Excellent work… xo ☺️
