"Just a simple drawing" does not adequately describe this beautiful work! I am so glad you unveiled it so we can admire it and learn from it. Although I don't know your son, the drawing gives me a very good idea of his personality and essence. Your technique is masterful. I love the wonderful depth of the shadows and the mixture of soft shading and the occasional stronger more visible strokes. I agree with Patty: this needs to be framed and hung.
This drawing was a lot of fun to do, because I was experimenting.
It was originally going to be a pencil drawing. Now it's a mix of pencil, charcoal and one ivory colored pastel stick. And one layer of fixative with more charcoal/pastel on top of that. On Stonehenge paper, which was tough enough to take the abuse I gave it.
