The reference photo for this was found on one of the free sites for reference photos. I was doing a search for redhead little girls and found this little Irish beauty. I did NOT do her justice, but I had to try. Maybe I will do her in color one of these days, because she has such lovely red cheeks, blue eyes, and red hair. And I just love her shy little smile. This is charcoal on 14×14.5 toned pastel paper.
