Little Drummer Boy size of artwork 9 x12 pencils and red pastel pencil

I always wanted to illustrated the little drummer boy one of my favorite Christmas songs/stories, i have many but love this one too :) I had the perfect little drummer model my friends and fellow artist Lisa Cree's little boy he reminded me so much of the the little drummer boy in the animated movie but in a more humanized version, i went back and forth if i should do this in color or in B/W and then in the end decided on both :)

Have a good weekend everyone xoxox
