Today is our daughter’s third birthday, and this is the present that our four-year-old son gave to her. He woke up before all of us this morning, and ran over to her bed to sing “Happy Birthdayâ€? to her. As soon as we all moved to the living room, he took out his markers and paper and made this for her. What a great little big brother…
He actually draws about twenty pictures a day, so he does most of it on recycled paper. You could see the type from the other side of this drawing in the scan, so I replaced the background with a pale yellow. Other than that, it was all him. You can check out more of his drawings, from since he was three, at his gallery here.
In other good birthday news, we just received our final Christmas package today in the mail (thanks Dad!). Nothing like an extended Xmas thanks to the unpredictability of international postage!

    You can scan pictures with visible reverse-side lines by placing a piece of black, lightfast paper behind the drawing to be scanned. That way the scanner can’t create a translucent image. I scan all my sketches that way.
