Reference drawings/photos of children

[Lynn Der]

I know this is a difficult subject. I've already painted the kids at their present ages, and was paid very well - when the mom asked me to do the kids when they were smaller, I thought the same thing that you guys said (no way). I hate to say it, but I couldn't say no because they love my work so much (no ego here), plus they pay so well (no greed, either).

Maybe the difficulty level is nature's way of paying me back for my character flaws!

Thanks for the input.
