Reference Photo:
Inga Perdita, age 2, was dressed up as "Tinkerbell" at her sister's costume birthday party.  Grandma captured this moment as Inga purposely avoided her request for a smile.  She said this photo reflects Inga's quiet, spunky, independent, and sometimes wary nature.
 
I just loved this reference photo...you can almost hear an audible "no" in  response to Grandmas request for a smile. You can actually feel the moment.  "Tinkerbell's" wings were a bit of a challenge...I used graphite to give them a translucent appearance and some shine.
