Artist Reply: thank you Mark, I'm really trying to achieve the photorealistic effect, though I know some people say 'why bother? take a photo', it's a technique I'd really love to conquer.
Great pencil artwork, Ruth.. Love his expressions and his eyes are just gorgeous..
Artist Reply: Thank you, he had his photo taken for a beautiful child competition so he was trying out his best pose and although he didn't win (ahhh!) it gave me an excellent reference photo to work from.
