Beautiful drawing, Linda, of this brave little boy - how sad that he lost his battle at only five years of age. This is a very fitting tribute and I'm sure his Mum will treasure this. I love how you showed the different textures of his skin, hair and clothing. His eyes and teeth are especially beautiful. Thank you for sharing. Suzanne

Wonderful image - He seems to be having a rather grand moment of joy, very nice thought and look for his mother. The detail in you drawing skill is amazing, lighting perfection from your skill. Great tribute to this wonderful fellow. Wonderful gift for his mother! Thanks for sharing and for being there for those that have this type of hurt in their lifetimes! Wonderful look for years to come.

An endearing portraiture as an everlasting gift to immortalize a brave little boy's battle with the Bic C!
A forceful smile to make everyone around him not to feel the pain so they won't be worried about his debilitating disease.
An impressive artwork rendition. Graphite pencil creation with excellent strokes & textures. Good compositional style. Great overall impact! Thanks for sharing... God bless you!

am truly sorry to hear that your child is suffering from a bad disease... I will pray for her, and i will ask my mother to pray for your daughter..
It's truly amazing and wonderful to think that those innocent souls are able to smile, knowing that they might not live long....
here you have captured a emotion, that's innocent and blessed. Don't wanna judge this beautiful work as another artist...... Nature has it's own rule, mostly we are allowed to become amazed, as Nature has the best wishes and plans for all these blessed innocent child.. there is a saying, that Nature gives it's favorites and early relief or early death....I believe your daughter will be cured, and please, kiss her on behalf of me.....

it's a inspirational art work though... your matured hands and imaginations has revealed his true emotions,and am honored to get in touch with you, as you yourself is blessed with care and that heart cries silently...I don't know what else to say..... but I will pray . stay blessed.

What a treasure you have given the parents of this little angel. As usual, perfect use of the pencil... the eyes reach out to the viewer's soul. Nice one Linda!

I am so moved, not only by this picture, butt what you have done for his mother. The death of a child is the saddest thing that can ever happen to a parent, but you have given this mother something she can cherish always. Amazing detail and clarity. God bless you. Thank you so much for sharing.

God Bless you Linda. For I also grieve for his parents, and what a touching story you have written, such a handsome young man. I too have lost a daughter, not to sickness but in a car accident so I understand that pain as well. You always amaze me with your gift. God Bless you dear. Lynn
