i paint this one with charcoal , and charcoal pencil ,
i painted deep dark and lights .
in his hair i just painted some grey lines and let the white of paper without shadows , i think its better for white pieces we use the whiteness of paper .
in painting portraits ,for me painting children's faces are more difficult than adult people .
in my idea for a child .his face is simple , no exact line , light eyebrow , small lips ,no clear nose , and all looks simple shapes. which is hard to paint and make the painting look like to that person , i prefer to paint a woman even with makeup . because clearly i can see what i want to paint .
keep smiling...
