Madonna in graphite

This is a graphite sketch of a mother and child, inspired by a magazine photo ad.  It was a gift for my mother in 2009.  The child looks a lot like me when I was little, and the hairstyle on the mother is similar to the way my mother wears her hair - a little temporal juxtaposition, but who cares?  This is my first graphite drawing.  I was most pleased with the detailing on the sweater sleeve.  The baby's right thumb gave me fits.  I am still not happy with it!
