| Older brother Luke |

| Dad and Mum |
I did a series of portraits of all the family. Some things I started working out at this stage:
- Eye-shaped eyes don't look as good as just dots and eyebrows.
- The shorter the arms and legs are, the younger the child looks.
- I like drawing feet.
- I'm trying to make them look messy and casual. It's hard to go against my instinct to make everyone beautiful, but I tried to make the Dad have a bit of a tummy and a receding hairline, the mum look mum-shaped, the kids chubby.
- I've figured out that I should draw hair in big chunky outlines. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't at all.
- I have to draw Emily's body first and then draw her dress over the top and then rub out her body.
- Stripes look really cute. Lots of Bonds-style striped clothing.

nice drawings, but they all look a bit sad... (well except for Luke) :(
did their family dog just die?
Oh hah hah!
That's what everyone said at the time. I say if people are just standing there there is no reason to grin like loons.
