Strange that I can remember his exact expression back with this one. The toy duck had a squeaker inside it, when pressed...Yes, it made a noise. William hadn't realised this innocent looking soft toy would do that.
Admittedly I had trouble trying to, show in a drawing, his expression of shock/surprise, so went for 'comic exaggerated'.
A nice little reminder again from the days when the lad was giving us a laugh.
They enjoyed their little moments over the years. In this sketch they were relaxing in the sunshine, from the back it always looked cute.
I might be a little slow adding Comments and Responding this week, our Internet has changed and we are experiencing the usual hiccups associated with it!!!!
Sorry about this, but I am still getting online intermittently, and I don’t like giving up 🤣

Another one of my early sketches of William online. I had been sketching him for about 4 years Before I added them 'online' but didn't keep them (they were so bad 🤣) - even with the online ones: some of them make me cringe now, they were so 'basic', but isn't that the curse of an artist, we are our worst critics! ;)
I so remember this 'Beegate incident', (again a sketch that takes me back / so true that sketches and paintings are memories that take you back to the moment, somehow photographs don't hold that magic). With this, William watching a Bee that decided to buzz around him. He couldn't make it out, but watched....I did wonder what was going through his mind at the time 🐝
Anyone remember this sketch from way back? When I find these, I can remember where we were.
William loaded into the car, I had my sketchbook, so quickly sketched him looking back and waiting for me to get into the car too - added some detail later - we were out for the day.
