A very knowing young face Enzio. Great drawing!

Beautiful drawing, my brother, and great interpretation of the photo. A boy who knows what's up.

I was attracted by the volitional and knowing expression of this child, so I decided to try a portrait. Unfortunately his hairdressing was extremely intricated and I wasn't so able yet to bring to life such a wild hairs. And, in fact, that was my grave! Anyway I thank Carole, Swingler, Russell Edwards and my brother Cesare for their encouraging comments. I will do better next time, ... hopefully!

Very goddess. I find this boy disturbing!

I think that your definition ("disturbing boy") might be a better description of my portrait. So I have changed the title from "A child" to "A disturbing boy". Thanks, Gudrun for suggestion. This change has been pointed out in the brief description accompanying my drawing

This is a superb drawing Ezio. You are being very harsh on yourself with your earlier comment 'I will do better next time,...hopefully!'. I can't see any way this could be improved upon. Looks perfect to me.

Thanks for compliments, Joanne. However, if you look at my drawing with attention, unfinished details are evident.

Following the suggestion made by Gudrun Ståhl Sharpley in his comment, the title of this portrait has been changed from "A child" to a more relevant "A disturbing boy". Thanks , Gudrun!
