These are pictures of our Karley who passed, I haven't been

able to finish them, but today came across them on my computer and think I need to try. Oil pencils with some computer enhancement planned for the final copy. I have a lot of work to do, mostly getting the twinkle in his eye and mischevious litle smile right. Any criticism good or bad would help me a lot.

2. I don't see the 'dupe', but OMG...

Those are stunningly beautiful. I'm so sorry about your Karley's passing. :cry: I love that name - never heard it before in my life.

By looking at your renderings, I feel as though I know him. You've captured the spirit of this beautiful being, and I would say that you have a tremendous talent. I'm heartbroken right now, but also happy, because I know Karley was loved during his time on this planet. Your drawings reach out of 2D into 4D or higher.

3. Thank you, you're too kind.

Some days I feel like I'm finally going to get at them and finish them, but I usually end up not being able to. You have, however, given me hope they aren't all that bad, and maybe next time I really will get them completed! His eyes were amazing and it's going to take a lot of work to get them exactly right, but thank you!!! He really was a very expressive, amazing boy who had a heart bigger than most adults.

I felt really stupid posting them on the artists forum, I haven't drawn anything else. Someone gave me some oil crayons and I just started sketching him. If you're interested, when / if ......... no, when I get them finished, I'll show you. Thanks again. You really are very kind.
