Andrew photo album thingie

X <<to blank meme

Ok so gosh this took a while but it was hella fun!

The photo album:  Andrew is a delightful character I have, a sweet person who has had a few struggles, fabulous athlete and very good at the academic stuff as well.  But I haven't drawn much of him (or his family) and so its actually a lot of funnnnnn to do this sort of thing to put to pictures/words the history and stuff of a character.  Ugh.

So anyway, we got the photo of Andrew when he was a few weeks old...  His mother liked pretty neutral colors and dressed her kids in a lot of yellow and green when they were babes.

Second pic, got their mother (Allison) Dad (whatever his name was, I think it was David but don't remember!).  Andrew and his brother Chris.  Chris is about to get baptized and seems like neither kid is too fond of the idea.  Allison thinks its pretty funny

Childhood memories:  The first time Andrew played a baseball-type game.  T-ball!  He played with a youth league for the neighborhood, and from what I remember, youth leagues tend to have the same size shirt for everyone, regardless of how old they are.  Andrew also played an angel in a nativity play when he was young, but the costume would stay straight, which amused his mother a lot.

School pics:  You get to see Andrew grow up a little here.  I'm not sure I like the high school pic that much, and pretty sure the elementary school pic is my fave of the three.  Went to one o' those K-8 Catholic schools xD

The polaroids:  Andrew and Chris ride a donkey, though Chris is not terrified in the least about it, Andrew is hanging on to Chris, who is humorously the younger brother, for dear life.

Allison can't figure out why her children have fallen asleep.  It was one of those things where one minute she hears them goofing around and the next its silent and turns out that they fell asleep.

Allison and David found a top hat at a thrift shop and goof off with it and their infant Andrew.

Allison holds her first born

Andrew's best friend is his brother, Chris.  D'aww

Allison's mother took a candid photo and her and David when she was really pregnant with Andrew

Photo booths:  Allison decides to kill some time by taking baby Andrew into the photobooth.  Fun fact:  She has a tattoo (more than one) but the kids don't actually know/remember they're there, because she became a paralegal and worked full time once the kids were in school full time and always wore clothes that kept them covered!

Second set of photos:  Allison takes silly pictures with her sons, Andrew has a hard time making silly faces and a hard time not laughing lol

Vacation:  THEY TOOK THEIR CHILDREN TO AT LEAST 3 RENAISSANCE FAIRES BECAUSE THEY'RE NERDS.  Allison has not gone to one since David died, sadly D:  She really can't bring herself to.

Hope no one sees this:  Allison's children had moments of hyperactivity and random stupidness.  Near Halloween with brand-new bright orange bath sheets, her children decide to be super heroes so there's a few pics of them dressed like this.

Ticket stubs:  Andrew has been to the baseball hall of fame because baseball is his favorite thing, and he also participated in academic decathlon, which is a competition of smarts where high school students fight for scholarships with their book smarts.  Andrew won a scholarship for high placement in mathematics~

It was nice to work on something when I have had some serious issues drawing these past few weeks, so it was nice to have prompts and not have to focus on making it look the best I could or with lots of details.  I did want to edit the lines more but when I saved it initially as a SAI file, it for some reason merged the linework layer the color layer below it, so I couldn't easily edit the lines then D:

Colors might be slightly off due to literally never drawing these people before (cept the one drawing of Andrew like way back when).
