Aw, that's lovely, and they're all having a great time! Fruit trees need a little whopping anyway - they make more fruit that way. :)

[minoanmiss]

Hee, thank you!

I love the pose and expression on the child‘s face! It‘s also geeat to see you varying the thickness of the lines, makes everything more lively.

[minoanmiss]

Bww, thank you. The child's pose is actually inspired by an Ancient Egyptian child depiction convention, so I'm really glad that detail came out strikingly.

And EEE thank you on the lines. I actually drew this with a much finer pen than usual to try to get more control over the lines as part of trying to depict age. *happy dances*

Aw that is very happy-making.

[minoanmiss]

Thank you :)

Aww, lovely! It's great how you were able to capture such a difference in ages, using very few lines. I like the overall composition too, and the way each person is posed. :)

*curtseys* Thank you especially much. :D I knew that a great many lines would just run together so I tried hard to make each one count in depicting the complexity of an elderly face.
