Looking at
Hank Ketcham characters, they're so identifiable and distinctive I can't help but draw on them for
Snow Day. The bell-bottom legs and simple construction is really endearing. Have to work on the facial features a bit more and perhaps (at the risk of making Samantha look like Ketcham's
Margaret) it's worth adding the ringlets that Auntie Gert grew up with illustrated below.
Some of my Grandma's old family photos have great personality, especially those that include my Auntie Gert. She's beside my Grandma second from left on the top step -- a real character. Dig the ringlets, they're great.
