Gin's Drawing

"Vibrant" is a good word for Ma, Lisa....she really looks amazing! And honestly Gin, I like the bonnet! It looks 'textured' and that's all you really needed to convey, and you did it well. Beautiful job, Gin!

Good job, girl! I really love Grace's little face expression!

Vanesa.

Thanks everyone! My next work will be a train for a little boy having a birthday in two weeks. I've got to find a good photo first. If any of you know of one let me know. He likes the old ones like on LH.

Have you tried looking on here for source photos Gin?

Hey Thanks Alex! I will check this out. I've only got two weeks so I need to find something fast.

You're welcome; there's heaps of photos on there. You should be able to find one suitable. Looking forward to see the result! Oh and is that you as a little girl in your avatar?

Yes, thats me...and my very first dog, Fella.

You looked like a very happy little thing, Gin! Cute dog too! I think we had a thread somewhere where people posted baby/kid pics? Is that right? If not, we should start one...would be kinda fun!

I will keep an eye out for old train pics. Maybe you could find a good shot from the one on Dr. Quinn too?

There is one, I think MYC started it.

Here is the post......

Your Baby Pictures

Oh, cool! Well, I finally know how to work the scanner now so maybe I'll get a baby pic up after all these years.

Great job on the bonnet! And great job on Caroline's smile.

Thank you Lori. THat was a tough bonnet to do!

This is a train I did for a little boy named Evan. He will be turning 7 on Sunday. I decided to use his age on the front of the train and his name is on the side of one of the cars. He loves trains!




Alex, do you know what the number on the front of trains mean? I was hoping that the number 7 didn't mean something bad.

Wow, Ginger, that's amazing! Well done!

I found this on the net......

A train reporting number is used by railway staff in Great Britain to identify a particular train service. It consists of:

A single-digit number, indicating the class (type) of train
A letter, indicating the destination area
A two-digit number, identifying the individual train, or indicating the route (the latter generally for suburban services).
The train reporting number is often called the headcode, a throwback to when the number was physically displayed at the head of a train.

Train Reporting Number

Okay. I was just afraid 7 might be for transporting bodies or something strange. Although Evan will not know that... lol

Thanks Rob..!

That's great, Gin!!

Train Reporting Number

That'd be Great Britain, in the USA it's just the engine number.

That's a great drawing Gin and I like what you did with his name and age!

I am so impressed, Gin! Beautiful!!!

Gin, that really is an excellent rendering!!

Gin, just a suggestion.....All the train shots in LHOTP were # 3. Include it in the little house cast when you do their drawings. I cant wait to do a video on all of them.
By the way, how's my favorite artist in the whole wide world doing?

Wow, that's very observant! I'd never noticed that about the trains.

Because if you looked they always used the same locomotive and often reused the train scenes from episode to episode.
