Mischief
Click for full size.
I started my entry with the caption: Emily's evil twin sister was always getting her into mischief.
I'm not skilled in drawing children characters from memory so googled some images to get some ideas. I drew each character on a separate layer in Painter IX using a Wacom tablet and the number 2B pencil. I used digital water color to color the skin and clothing.
The font is something called BaaBookHmk which I downloaded from a free font website. I created the ovals and rectangular shape around the image.
I moved it into Phototoshop to add the drop shadow and save to a .jpg.

I love the light watercolor look on the kids, it works really well. And I like the font so much I'm going to go get it. Thanks for posting how you made this. It turned out great.

the term "Evil Twin Sister/Brother" I believe has been taken by young Mookie....

I appreciate the "technical" details. I might be better off sticking with pencil/markers/watercolor... but I've at least begun "messing about" with photoshop... a Wacom tablet is surely in my future. For somebody who "doesn't do" children, this is perfectly clear!
