Beautiful drawings, Christy !
It's very hard to obtain this fresh feeling from a photo, and to resist to the temptation of overworking.
I like a lot the combination of line work and mass work, and also you're very good at choosing the right pose and expression.

You have combined very confident, bold strokes with soft values and expressions. Nothing wimpy here yet your subjects remain soft and emotionally powerful at the same time. Snap crackle pop.

Christy, this is very impressive work - you have a wonderful, fresh, sensitive touch and you really do capture that childhood aroma of vulnerability and hope. Keep them coming!

Here's Ben. It's the second one I've done of him on this thread.
edit- Of course, now that I've posted this I see I need to adjust that shadow on his cheek...
