Very interesting. I like that you have used minimal lines to create this and yet it seems so developed. The cool looking ears are great and so are the eyes.

It is fun, it is very different from you other work.

The facial features are well done.
I like the movement throughout the clothing and the bright cheerful colors you have used.

Comment from Gira


This is very beautiful.I remember a contest that U can enter with this.The contest said to have artwork that would be loved b children.Sorry cant explain it properly,but If you wish you can look at the member contests.Adding something in the background to give a story look,this could be great entry for that contest.
This already is very expressive.
And very attractive to.
At first glance to it.it looked like someone is holding the boy's shoulders from the back.The linear design of his dress on the shoulders give it that kind of look.
His eyes dargs attention and looks like there is a deep meaning in to them.very nice use of colours ,specially with white face it looks superb.
Thanks for sharing.
Gira.

When I choose to comment your work, I was lure by colors alike a butterfly by candle light and It not burn my wings but burn my soul...deh! Remembrances ! Your artwork is celebration of colors, the dance of shapes, rhythm of lines, it is unique and original in every aspect.
It is a lot of power there and like strong artist which have a lot to say it and know how to tell the story in language of colors and shapes.Very well done.
