really a powerfull image thats thought provoking and emotional.
the drawing its self is spot on, i like the softness of around the hair which contrasts the harder edged sharpness of the face.

Thank you Simon I wanted the scars to really be there for the viewer to analize and understand the pain of the child, I do not respect 100% my reference image so I took the liberty to add some new scars and deformities to his face also a little more hair, in the photo his hair was sharp so i add more hair, it was a little difficult since I used graphite 4b waterbased powder and charcoal powder too applied with brush some little detailes were made with charcoal pencil.

Well done, it's very strong and real enough... and to be honest death to materialism and what ever that come out of Hollywood :)

It's difficult to really understand the sort of pain the subject would be going through. Very sad eyes. The scarring is almost grotesque, but you can't help feeling bad for the little guy. It's quite difficult to people to really internalise what's going on. Most would just turn away? The technique I feel is superb, I feel there is nothing to distract from the story you're trying to tell here. Fantastic work.

Thank you for this kind words Carl and yes as you say a lot of people maybe will look away, is what they do just look away and pretend they haven't seen something like this but some will not, and they will try to understand and eventually they will get the message and that is the mission of this work.
