Fernando

This is a portrait I just updated from an earlier version. I used my Wacom tablet and stylus both times, using Painter Classic the first time and adding more details now using Painter IX software. I started the original portrait from a blank canvas/screen, not a photo manipulation. Fernando is a quiet very sweet natured boy. He is prone to quiet fits of giggles and makes close friends with those he choses to. He opens up sometimes and will talk up a storm, just if he is in the mood. He likes to observe everything around him with his incredible big brown eyes. Always eager to help others, and give comfort to a hurt firend. One interest he really loves is art. He will create with legos, blocks, clays, recyle trash items all sorts of things. He will draw and paint and do quite detailed pictures. He loved to sit and watch me draw, and would try to copy each step as I outlined what he'd or a friend asked how to draw. He was very observant and could throw in extra little touches to make his own unique style, clever little guy. I can so see him having a million girls falling in love with him from his sweet nature to his adorable face and eyes without him even being aware of it. He's a humble guy. I hope he never changes.

Great piece as always.....

Artist Reply: Thank you Tazda! I'm thinking I might as well make an angel portrait of him, he's got the right pose and sweet look.

Terry, he looks as if he has his hands clasped in prayer. You have this wonderful syncronicity with the children. You give and they give. The result is exquisite. miguel

Artist Reply: It's works out most times when they chose their poses that it suits their personality. I'll take a couple of digital photos in differrent poses, and they just know which one reflects their personality best and what one doesn't. If not they will tell me, "I like my eyes in this one, but my mouth in this one." It's usually exactly what I'm thingking. I try to make the posing time fun and talk with them and even the shy ones open up, exited to help out and to wait to get their portrait.

He seems so gentle. I bet he wears his heart on his sleeve!

Artist Reply: Thank you, he is usually a gentle little guy, only horse plays a little , but never known to be rough. He has such expressive eyes. Near broke your heart to se him not feel well or get his feelings hurt. It so showed in his eyes.

This is so sweet. I love the look on his face. This is such a peaceful and serene piece of work.

Artist Reply: He is a true little angel of a guy! He often would sit patiently and quiet to listen to directions and until given premission to start an activity. I loved when he croosed his hands and fingers together. I t was so cute that he picked this way to pose.
