Jasper and Elise Sketches

I don't know if I've ever posted any drawings of Elise before. Jasper's lady love. She's from a wealthy family, he's been the hired help since he was around nine or so, they grow up together and you know what comes next. She tries to teach him the ropes of upper-crust society (and fails miserably) and he teaches her to belch "God Save the Queen" (and is enormously successful).

It's taken me awhile to get Elise down on paper. I have a million and one character sketches of her because I knew what she looked like in my head, but for whatever reason, I couldn't quite get it down in my sketchbook. I always pictured her looking very delicate, a bit like a young Michelle Pfieffer. Heart-shaped face, thin, light brows, blonde hair, greenish-blue eyes, a tiny bit of an overbite, big ol' smile, and a little sloping nose. Also, she's teeny-weeny and Jasper's Mr. Awkwardly Tall and Lanky. Makes for an interesting kissing arrangement.
