Edgier, or just strange?

Wow. This is kinda fun. Edgier? Less cutsie? This one was done in a thick brown line, then "modeled" using the scratchboard rake.

I like this one and the former one, but think I also like the ruffled shirt better. I don't know exactly why, but it seems to work so well. Great "edge" to this little tyke.

Love this one, Mo! It was the first t-nail I clicked on your main portfolio site... I thought that was the scratchboard rake. Like the painterly'ness!

I'm drawn to this one out of the three. She has an edge about her. Definitiely not cutesy.

Interesting that someone else mentioned the ruffled shirt - I like that too!

I love the scratch board effect! I found your portfolio site and blog through a suggestion from a friend of mine (Brent A.). Your name and illustrations are familiar to me from my years as a preschool teacher. Wonderful work!
