I did this fot a collegue who is going to retire in a couple of weeks. The baby is her grandson. Conte pencils and sticks on Ingres ash grey paper. 24*32 cm.
It reminds me of 'those times' when the little ones get startled and start cracking themselves up so bad they turn beat red and can hardly breath...the chin is fabulous!

I love this one. It's so full of life and bursting with that new born energy. I love everything about this portrait. Great treatment of the hair and the folds of the fabric. I love his little hands too. Great work!
