Artist's Comments

Please forgive the rough looking submission. It's my first drawing on a large scale. It's 11"x14" Strathmore Sketch paper, and wouldn't fit in my scanner. So I had to take a picture of it, which is why it looks crooked. I am actually quite proud of this drawing. You see...it's my beautiful son. I found the time to finish up today. I had spent about a month shading here and there. My dear son likes to help. He's my love and my light...He's my reason I keep pushing daily. I started this one using a grid to get the proportions. I really enjoyed going by grid as opposed to free hand. Everything fit!!!

Materials:
Strathmore Sketch pad 11x14
2h, HB, 2B mechanical pencil
HB, 2b, 6b wooded graphite pencil
6b Charcoal pencil
Satin Handkerchief, Blending stump, Tortillion, and toilet paper
Kneaded Eraser & Plastic Square Eraser
Lots of time and patience.

comments welcome!!

You should be very proud of this piece! I love the reflections in the eyes and the moistness of the lips! Little ones' eyes hold such wonder in them...you captured that beautifully!
