Sam & Tucker

As the school year draws to a close, it's time for me to look back upon the remainder of my student portrait sketches from over the past several months.

Two notable additions are Sam and Tucker. These identical twin brothers were fourth graders at the school I worked at. The pair had a very unusual presence that consisted of finishing each others sentences and sneezing only moments apart from one another. The most unusual characteristic, however, was how they appeared to be polar opposites in the physical realm. In other words, one was as skinny as an Ethiopian toddler, while the other was drastically overweight. The oddest thing about the duo was that I never really could tell them apart from one another. Despite their physical difference, the brothers had such similar personalities that I couldn't keep tabs on who was who. And it didn't help that they wore matching clothing every day.
