Momma Delivers Her Decision to Move the Family North

I’ve been working on this image for several days. Jenna Jay is ecstatic; Jimmy is disbelieving; Buddy is indignant; Momma is serene. She’s just told the kids that they have to go North for the summer because that’s what migratory birds and insects do. But Jimmy and Buddy aren’t taking her decision positively.

One of the challenges this picture poses is how to draw expressive hands and faces. When my characters don’t have eyebrows and just have black dots for eyes it’s all the more challenging to use them to express emotion. Hands are always hard.
