One of my nephews’ birthday is coming soon, and I kinda promised him (his parents actually) to draw his face when I was there in the US few weeks ago. But giving the small amount of time my visit was, I didn’t have the chance to do so. Now that I’m back in Jakarta and have plenty of time to spare, the thought of drawing his face for his coming 3rd birthday this weekend is pretty interesting. And so I shuffled through the photos I took of him while I was in the US and found one which is quite expressive. It’s been months since I last drew (that was for my final project in uni.) so the idea of drawing a life subject again after so long was at first a bit intimidating. But then I thought, why not just give it a go? I needed more practice too! So I did, and I finally got it done, here’s the result.

Pencil (3H, HB, 2B and 4B) was the only medium I used in the drawing.
