Description
This piece is very special to me, I've put everything I've got into it and have been working on it since October. I left it alone for a while then for those damn reasons it needed to be finished.
This is my son Daniel and this piece is a christmas present for both my mum and for my mother in law.
I started it on his 4th birthday (Oct 1st) and finished it today because I've been in a nice mood for the first time in ages.
Wacom, Paintshop, Photoshop. No reference. This piece was done from scratch and it was a complete nightmare to get Daniel to sit still for the preliminary sketch as he wanted to use the computer to play a Dinosaur game. There was no way he'd let me brush his hair first either. Oh the joy of messy children and also hurrah for artistic liberties.
Anyways, there you have it. God knows how much it's going to cost to get it printed full size. I'll probably sell myself for scientific experiments or something.
Thank you for looking, I very much appreciate it.

I mean .. wow! I thought it was a photo. And its not just a beautiful painting .. its a beautiful portrait too. You have rather beautifully captured your son's playful and sweet nature here .. he sure is a cute kid :) If you don't do it already, you should consider doing this commercially, I am sure you will find parents who would want their kid painted.
