Only "talented" you could capture the essence of this young child. What a beauty he is. I love the smile and the shape of his face. It is so very lovely. I am sure that your sister cried when she saw the wonderful and artistic work that you completed for her. Lots of luck in the contest.

Comment from Lee Smith


Incredible and so touching. I think all amazing art has an emotional story behind it. It is so hard to capture a child's expression and you nailed it. I can do adult portraits, but have never been able to do justice to children. They always look like adults! I did a baby when I was a young teen and my brother said it looked like Adolph Rupp! You are so talented!

Lovely drawing, Linda, of your sister's beautiful little grandson. You've captured the innocence of a little two year old very well. Great use of light and shade. I'm sure your sister must be delighted with this especially if she doesn't get to see him often. Beautiful composition. Suzanne

Too bad I don't have six stars. Amazing drawing. the shades on the front and light on the back make the portrait look 3 dimensional. The character of face is enjoyable. Thanks for sharing

How can I compete with this? Even though I also entered this contest, I would gladly settle for second knowing first place was well deserved ;) Love the expression on the boy's face and the detail in his eyes. I would suggest to add more texture to his hair but I know hair is hard to execute perfectly :)

    Thank you for the 6 stars, Jesuel. I am beginning to incorporate color into my work. It is scary, but I have to expand.

Comment from Lauren Douglas


Very nice drawing. You really caught the expression on the little boy's face. I love the way the texture in the hair is drawn and the dark background with some light framing the head on the left side. Very balanced composition. Nice work!

I am sure your sister was very happy to get this adorable portrait of her grandson Axel. He has such a lovely smile, and you have pictured this so well. The little face is done paying very good attention to details of the eyes, nose and mouth, and also the shadings are working well.

The composition is also working even if I personally would have liked a bit more negative space on the right side.

I think it is a truly lovely drawing Linda, and I wish you good luck with the contest.
