I'm at the stage of the work now where I hate it and want to tear it into small little pieces and throw it off the roof, stomp on it and mush it into a puddle. I go through this with every painting, so I know it will pass once I get past the "ugly" stage.
All of the above being said, the shading on this one is a killer! The shaded flesh tones are actually shades of grey which one should not use when working a portrait in coloured pencil. Anything but grey. Well, grey and black. Probably purple too;-)
This is the first time I've done eyes that don't actually show any pupil colour. They're all squinty and basically black blobs. This picture sure doesn't do this kid justice!

I think this is a very cool picture!
It's Lovely! The Eyes Are Beautiful.
my art teacher told me to use more purple when doing portraits, I think my humans were too pink at the time.
don't stomp on it! i have so many people i talk to give up when they get to this stage with coloured pencils.
Will you sell this one at a discount?
No I up the price on the bad ones.
