Crocodile Tears: New Reveal at Let's Get Sketchy

 
Hi there~
It's time for a new reveal at Let's Get Sketchy!  For this sketch, I chose some pictures of my cousin and his baby girl.  She was extremely tired, and her daddy was doing his best to comfort her, but she wasn't really going for that!  I absolutely love these pictures---you see, my cousin (the daddy) is much younger than I am. I remember him very clearly as a baby.  I watched him grow up.  I love watching this man be a husband and a dad!

Her big fat tears just called to mind this title:
 
 I used a stencil and some paint (the dots in the background) as well as some texture (I cut it from burlap "paper", a great find at Joanne Fabrics.  I also doodled in the circles to hopefully make them pop a bit more.

 
And here is the lovely sketch---Jenessa outdid herself!  It was so much fun!
 
Head over to Let's Get Sketchy to see what the DT came up with.  You are sure to be inspired to link up your own project---can't wait to see what you come up with!
