Almost finished with the birthday cake page

Almost finished with the page…if I leave the background simple. Drawing Momma’s hand holding the plate took most of the day. I had to create a reference picture of myself carrying a plate. The gotcha is that I have five fingers and Momma has four. Three fingers under the plate looked weird, so, taking advantage of artistic license, I put her thumb under the plate.

It’s ironic that I always add the “self-publishing” tag to my posts 365 days a year, when in reality, I publish a book only once a year.
