RE: "Nostalgia" (Graphite and Charcoal on paper)
Wow!! Look at his eyes. They look like there was life in them. They looks so sad and longing.. I don't know what they're longing for but maybe he is missing love? Or did he lose his family? Is there a tear in his left eye?
There are so many questions I could ask about this stunning piece of art. I can imagine it took you long time to finish, but you are a very skilled artist and it's visible in this illustration. I love those details that you included on his skin as well. The shape of his hands is very realistic too.
What has inspired you to do this illustration? Do you know this boy or did you use a photograph?
Thank you for sharing and congratulations on your curie vote! You deserve it!
Thank you so much. Yes, the sadness in his eyes was what made me decide to make this piece, it's so at odds with the theme it's supposed to convey. I don't know the underlying cause of his sadness, but I wanted to understand it a little. I used a reference picture and thanks once again.
