I haven't made a graphite drawing in ages. It's something I used to love to do, particularly portraits. I decided to do this one because I was starting to become so stressed out and overwhelmed that I just wanted to do something that i felt was fun and god has it been awhile since I've had fun making art. It grew to become a job throughout this difficult portion of my life. However, I really enjoyed drawing this. It was simple and easy and I didn't have to think too hard. There was no major issues or things I had to think about. All I had to do was draw. Overall, I think it turned out very well. I captured his expression identically to the actual picture. Theres a lot of character and charm. I did a good job contrasting lights and darks. I would say the hardest part was realizing that my 6B pencil will not go any darker and the hair. I've always had issues with hair, especially boy hair. Theres just not a lot of segments that make it easier like girls hair. However, I think I did an okay job with it. My favorite part is the ear. I just think it looks very realistic. There isn't much to say about this one. There's no concept and it wasn't particularly difficult.
