Delving into digital

So I joined the Sketchbook Challenge group and this month's prompt is to sketch something you cherish. My elephant collection? Nope. My art stuff and fabric stash? My love bunnies Mr. and Mattie? Na. People! In particular my family in all their radiant glory. I have always gravitated to the face and figure and all the emotions that they predict. Dug out photos for reference and became promptly overwhelmed so decided to play a bit digitally before I set out my pens and pencils. They were fun to do but as I am on a learning curve took way more time than I intended. Stay tuned for the sketches...
