    Thank you so much again, jesuel, for reviewing and liking this work. Yes, sometimes they are more difficult as their heads don't adhere to the 3rds or 4ths. I appreciate your work and insight, friend.
Comment from Jewell McChesney


This is adorable Gena, but it appears to be blurry?
I'm not sure if that's due to the capture of this image or if it's the appearance of the painting. It's a darling pose of the child. You are very good at capturing the features and expressions!

    Thank you, artist friend Jewell, for reviewing and for your kind words of encouragement. I hope it is not blurry; no one else has mentioned it. I reloaded it using my original drawing due to a suggestion about redone lashes. It did take several efforts for it to even appear again.

    I am having trouble with my vision lately. I?m sorry.

    Thank you so much, artist friend Jewell. I understand what you are saying. When my glucose goes up, I really have trouble or for a few other reasons.

Hi Glena, Whether he has attitude or not the image is still cute! Love the expression on the babies face. The expression is sort of a "You have to be kidding me!" look. Before I realized what the title was that was on my mind. I think you really did a nice job with the facial features and the shading. The eyes are very nice! Great entry for the contest! Good Luck! :o) Nancy

Comment from FBI GUY


Little boys and attitudes kind of go together. Throw in some red hair and you have loving but challenging child. Your rendering of his physical and personality features has been captured so well.

Comment from Linda K.


I love this portrait! It's very realistic. Not easy to paint an infant. Especially the eyes are exeptional, and you should be very proud of your drawing talent. Thanks for posting this and good luck!

Comment from La Donna Nance


I don't see the attitude you were talking about in your description, but I do love the detail on the hair and eyes.
The lashes from afar and up close don't look natural. But do help bring focus to the eyes. I see the eye lashes are now more natural, i just still can't see the attitude you were talking about.

    I know I didn't have the lashes shown much till later. He is sticking his tongue out a little. Others have seen the attitude, but he did show much more attitude until I revised. He is not laughing like the usual baby. Thanks for reviewing; I am disappointed with the 4, however, as the flesh, and clothing are also realistic. Please view some of my other portraits as "Sabrina" and "Girl in the pink portrait. Thanks again.

    Thanks for reviewing and the couple of likes. Others have seen the attitude, sorry you didn't. It was seen more before I made him prettier, revised a little and reloaded. Also, the eyelashes were most natural before then. However, I am disappointed with the 4 as his flesh, and other features with the top are realistic.

    I also went off or the scoring board so that's why it was a 4 and not a 5

    La Donna, I revised the lashes a little, not as well as originally, and the tongue sticking out a little more plainly. I hope you will consider changing it, especially because it went off the scoring board. Thanks kindly.

Oh my goodnessð???
This exhibits real talent. People are hard. His eyes twinkle and expression is expressed well. I love the little curls. His hair looks so real. Great job in my opinion.

Comment from Chaxl


I can totally see his attitude; his impression is priceless. I like the grayish background, it's just the right tint that his shirt doesn't blend in.

Comment from ForPawsPetPortraits


What a handsome little fellow! I love his little tongue sticking out. He's certainly showing a little attitude, lol.

His skin tone is very well done, as is his hair, but he eyes are his crowning glory! The lashes are maybe just a tad to dark or bold for a baby, but you've captured the twinkle in them perfectly. A little heart breaker for sure.

Very nicely done my artistic friend! I love the beautiful colors of this baby's hair and eyes and his surprised expression. I see very fine details with beautiful shading, and a gorgeous, soft feel. This is a great entry for the contest, and I wish you the best of luck!
