Here's a little drawing i made for @stillwater. He's been very supportive on my blog (and in general to others on steemit) and after reading his introduction post, he seems like a good honest family man who loves his wife and children - and that should be honored.
I've never drawn a child before, i've only read about the difference between babys, children & adults when drawing faces so this was a bit of a challenge that i wasn't expecting when i started out.
I kind of worked myself into a corner with the choice of pastel & paper, there's only so dark you can make these pencils and there was a lot of subtle light effects which were hard to capture. It was a beautiful picture of a beautiful child and i found that it was a real challenge to capture the subtle light correctly - (i am pretty happy with how the penguin outfit turned out thou!) - i think as a first stage study it was a good attempt that could be improved upon to figure out some better methods for subtle light & translucency in my drawing with this setup of pastel & paper.
Anyway, it's just a small thank you to a good person out there somewhere in the Steemit ether.
Thanks!
Great work for a good reason! Congrats!
I have to apologize to you and thank you as I just found this by looking up my own account name!? I totally missed this ages ago! Such a wonderful piece of art my friend! My wife loves it! I'm not sure where you're at and what you're doing but I see what you should be if you're not! This is incredible and we are overwhelmed and honored. I'm so sorry this is so late my friend. Thank you, Mr. and Mrs. stillwater and family!
