grampy + Kieran finished baby

I promised a few people I would upload this again when I had altered the baby's face. The piece was inspired by "Young and the Old" Contest but was really not needed until Christmas, so although I was really pleased with it when it was submitted, I knew the baby needed a little work on his cheek.

For this final piece, I gave the cheek more depth and altered a section on the ear that I was unhappy with, but other than that, I left it the same.

Thank you again for the support while I was working on this and for voting for me in the contest for Portrait Pencil Art. Make sure you go onto their website to see the other beautiful winners' drawings.

(See [link] for the original that I entered)


Total time now spent 24 hours. Use graphite pencils 2h, B 2B, 4B, 6B, 9B, putty rubber, blender, 2b mechanical pencil and sharp rubbers.

I hate scanners cos they take away the softness of the real picture.
