This is Nathaniel's older sister, Ali, short for Alexandra.

Let's see how much fun you can have with this one!

WOW....fabulous results!!!! Another great thread full of talent. Wonderful photos Danny...both Nathaniel and Ali. Good quality and makes such a difference.

Done in Painter...created a bg first. New layer - Cloning/Blocked in with RonE's Block-in Brush, blended with his wet in wet brush. New Layer - Some more blocking in with Acrylics Captured Bristle, blended with Just Add Water.
New Layer- Cloners/Wet Oils (low opacity) - probably blended more? New Layer - Hair/Oils/Camel Fine Hair (which I notice left little star like impressions?!). Couldn't quite tell where her hair length ended so just added more colours to the bottom.

Dropped all layers and then did her eyes with the Captured Bristle. Some Dodging and burning and layer adjustments.

Neve, your background colours work great. Awesome result.

Ali looks like a gentle type of girl, so I tried to do a "soft" look for her.
Here is my attempt.

I made a sketch and then masked in some colour. Removed unwanted clutter. Finished with a Vignette.

Attractive children, obviously from a superior gene pool.

Used filters similiar to what was used with Nathaniel but applied them quite differently. Typical handwork on highlights & shadows.

ok, since ali and the boy are brother and sister, the obvious next step would seem to be to combine the two pictures.
