My daughter has gotten amazing with her work and though I would love to show it off, I see too much stealing going on to feel comfortable posting it online.  I have to remind her to sign and date her art still.  Recently she did fan art of a FF character in color pencils that looks so real, even to the cracked lips and shiny spots on nose and cheekbone. It almost looks like she did it digitally, but she never learned art software and almost exclusively uses pencils or watercolors or acrylic.  I am so proud of her!  If I wasn't worried about people cutting off the part she signed and claiming the art as theirs I would be proud to showcase it.

I finally decided to add one of my daughter's sketches to Deviant art.  I've been hesitant since art stealing is so rampant and she works on many mediums, all good.  The watermarks are ugly, but that's okay.  Hopefully I'll be adding more soon.  She'd love to see comments or advice for improvement.

I am woefully behind on scanning kid art.  The collection keeps growing, it's not getting any smaller.  Now I need to figure out how to scan large pieces and make them 'fit' into one picture.  I need to figure out why the old pencil sketch scans look so crappy here.  They weren't this bad when I first uploaded them.  I may have to find the pictures again and rescan, make them darker.
