Almost done with the first kid! Today I didn't do much in the way of the face. A few adjustments to shading. But the main thing that really changed the face was the left cheek line. I noticed that his face was a little too round and he therefore looked too young. So I brought the line in and I think it looks considerably better.
The hat was the easiest part by far. Taking only about 5 minutes to finish. Luckily for me, there wasn't a lot of detail there. But there's a considerable amount everywhere else. His necklace appears to be puka shells or something of that nature. Abandoning my general need to draw bead by bead, I made light and dark lines at regular intervals, added highlights and made random pencil lines to give the illusion of uneven, thin beads. It was surprisingly simple.
Tomorrow I have to finish the many creases of his white shirt and I'll be on to the next kid in line!
