Sketch of Regina

Done with mechanical pencil
Approximate time: 20 min

At one point during the family reunion that I went to, my cousins wanted to watch me draw during Grandpa storytime. So I took the time to listen to the stories, and doodle my younger 1st cousin Regina (number 8 of 10 children) sitting and listening to the stories our great uncle was telling us. I got a kick out of the story about my Grandpa pretending to get up in the morning, and then going back to sleep. I KNEW I GOT THAT FROM SOMEONE! lol! Although I dont do that as much now as what I did in highschool. XD Ugh, hate mornings. 

Anyway.... I actually drew Regina a little older than she actually is. She is about 10 or 11, and the picture makes her look like she's 13 or 14.   I forgot to mention, my relatives on my mom's side of the family are Conservative Mennonites (hence the cape dress, and braids). In the next couple of years if she chooses to accept Christ as her lord and savior, she'll change her hairstyle to having her hair up and under a veiling (which is not the same as Amish prayer caps). 

If you have more questions about what the difference between Mennonites and Amish are....I guess ask away. It's not the same in every area (I know in my area is completely different to how it is out in Pennsylvania). ;
