Sept 23rd: Finished Graphite Portrait



Oh glorious day blog!  The graphite drawings are done for awhile!   And I managed to make the youngest kid look cute and normal rather than creepy.  Adorable+horrifying=adorifying.
To solve my problem, I over-emphasized the roundness of his cheeks and widened his squinty eyes.  This worked well.  That and fleshing out the dark spots to make him look less like a vengeful ghost or something.   I'm happy with it for the most part.  On taking a second scrutinizing look, I think that the eyes on the older boy are off... Even though his head is tilted in the picture and his right eye appears to be higher than the left, it didn't translate entirely in this drawing.  So, if I had to change one thing, it would be lowering the right eye slightly.  But I don't think it's too off to be distracting... is it?  I think it'll be something their parents will be happy about.
