First Birthday by

Commission. Graphite (3b and 7b) on 200gsm Bright Whtie Paper.

This commission was done for a client who was giving the portrait as a gift for this little fella’s first bithday. I really loved doing this commission. He’s such a cutie, and he had beautiful, sparkling eyes and such a joyous look on his little face.
