For :icontreijim: as a prize for the portrait contest ;)

This picture makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside, and also kinda cold. Those long years between being held and holding someone.... Ah, I veel nevar get enough.

About 50 hours. F, HB, 2B, 5B, and 8B pencils (I will be needing a new 8B) on A2 paper. I tried scanning it but my scanner 1) sucks to begin with, and 2) is in a wonky location, so it didn't go well. I took it with my camera, and I think it looks pretty close to original, except maybe his chin and the pillow.

Also, please not too much with the critique. I've stared at it long enough and I know what could be improved.

when the sail starts flying in the wind i say, 'cool, that looks cool, now do you think the second movement has too many violins?'
~I have to say... this is beautiful. I love the scene for one thing, a tranquil sort of thing that all of us have experienced with our parents. *snuggly feeling inside*

And man, you've really got your realism sorted. The shading is really smooth and soft in the right places, and the slight blur of the background helps make the mother and the child to be the focal point of the picture.

Heres me trying to give good informative comments about what i like about it *PhAIls* I suck at all of the technical stuff. @_@

Anyways, in a nutshell- beautiful shading, beautiful scene, and OHMAGAWD, 50 hours? Elbee, you have some patience.

I was determined to finish, though I do say once I finished the boy's face I felt like that should be all, though it wasn't even half way done.

Thanks :hug:
