I was browsing through old photos, and I found a nice family photo from several years ago that everybody looked really good in. My brother looked especially cute. (He doesn't appreciate being called cute anymore now that he's 13 and has a low voice and everything, but I can call him cute here since he was only 9.)
He was tipping his head to the side in the photo. I'm not sure if I quite got that across in the drawing, or if it just looks a little odd. Also, this is the first time I had ever drawn an ear, and I think it shows.
Again, I got most of the way through the drawing and realized I had no idea where I should put shading, so I decided to err on the side of not very much shading. It's probably pretty obvious that I'm drawing what I see, and what I see is eyes, mouth, hair, and other facial features to an extent, but not shadows. But for now, I'll concentrate on the fact that I'm pretty happy with the eyes, mouth, and hair, and the shadows can come later.
I used an HB pencil instead of a 2B pencil for the first time in this drawing. I like them both, and believe I will use both in the future.
