This is just so well done. The look on the child's face is wonderful.

The soft glow illuminating the candles and the boy evokes a sense of natural peace, calm and wonder.

Certainly this is another one of your gifts given to the rest of us. Best of fortune in the contest ~ Steve

Wow...what a drawing! This is fun. The cute boy seems to find out something after examining for a long time. His pose is mesmerizing.

Well done and thanks for sharing.

Comment from Dick Lee Shia
Is this painted from a photo?!?
The angle is quite difficult to render if drawn from imagination.
Excellent chiaroscuro effect.
Impressive lighting effect.
Realistic strokes for folds & creases.
Still managed to depict that strained visual expression from a hard to view low angle rendition.
Superb portrait!
Thanks for sharing.
Congratulations!
