Desmond, a friend's new grandchild, sits buckled in and ready to roll in his car seat.
For months I had struggled to conjure a unique baby gift for the first-time parents, unenthusiastic about adding to the arsenal of products they had already received, when it dawned that they might appreciate a portrait of his early weeks.
Rendering Desmond's features helped me understand the nuances of his facial contours, especially the nose, which I found challenging to get just right.
