This was amazing, I did this drawing..went to lunch and when I came back everyone was amazed that the likeness was of one of the other artists little girls! she didn't even show up until AFTER I drew this... and the weirdest thing is that her name is Celeste

Well isnt that just celestially angelic? she really does look just like my angel.. her eyes are exact!!
