Maddax

Description:

In school, we were making Christmas cards for Maddax. He had terminal cancer and his last wish was to get Christmas cards for the holidays. I included this inside the card as a Christmas gift, more so for his parents than for him. But the card itself was for him.

I had a time limit to finish this portrait by making it more difficult to get to be good enough that I would give it to someone. Given the time restriction, I was not 100%  happy with the end result, however, this forced me to not worry about every little detail. Plus I was able to push the values much better than in my previous work.

Time Spent:

5-8 hours

Materials:

Graphite, pen, colored pencil, small eraser, and kneaded eraser
