That's a really good drawing of your son's face. One trick you can try...if you'll notice on the photograph, there is a bright reflection on the eyes. Usually, there is a light source which illuminates the face. Because the eye is spherical, the reflection will highlight the round surface. Your drawing has the eyes solid dark. Try to copy the reflection that you see in the eye by just leaving an unpenciled in highlight. Also, try not having a heavy outline of the eye...in some areas, just a light suggestion of the outline will be better than a heavy line.

(Edit...I never used them, but I do have a couple of degrees in art...but that's been 40 plus years ago. Also, my dad was a painter....but I still feel embarrassed giving someone advice, so feel free to disregard it!!)

Don't "overwork" it!!!

You are doing remarkable work for the very short time since your first drawing of the Victory Smith!!! Keep up the good work, and the best of luck in your fight against the Lyme disease.

Best Regards, Les
