I have chosen my younger sister Anthea. To me, siblings – like my sister and me – can learn from each other as they grow up. My best memories are with my siblings. My family are the ones who I can always turn to and I know that’s the way it’s going to be for a long time – no matter the millions of fights we’ve had and will have. Anthea has an expressive character, which can be seen in her massive eyes and crooked-toothed smile. Her features accentuate her lively personality and she was an enjoyable subject to draw.
