Pretend

Illustration Fridays' word this week is pretend..I found this just waiting in my sketch book!

What little girl doesn't like to pretend? The most recurring pretend theme being that of a happy mommy! I had drawn this as a quick sketch. One of my friends is planning on writing a childrens book and gave me a few pictures of her little girl for inspiration regarding possible illlustrations for her book. Until I scanned the sketch an hour ago, it was just that, a pencil sketch. I painted and drew on it digitally, and that is what you see here. She looks so happy and protective of her pretend babies!
Post note: MY apologies if you are linking here from Illustration Friday! I posted three times on there..with errors the other two! I thought I could delete them but couldn't figure out how..so emailed IF to ask for a leeetle help! T.y. Jenn

A lovely illustration of childhood! Don't fret about the other thumbnails; a little extra marketing never hurts!
