Description Part one of the drawing portion of my RISD application. I'm working my ass off on these, so cross your fingers for me. I pieced together the image from several reference photos, so no, I don't know who the kid is, but doesn't he have a great face?

Hey, just looking at the gallery!

You know who this kid reminds me of? The boy in the painting Hands Resist Him... I forget the artist, but he has a similar expression. You should look at it, it's a creepy painting o_O!

(In fact it's famous for being haunted !)

Oh my god, creepy painting, I find it weird that I've never come across it before. You're right, he does look like that kid. I don't remember where I got the reference I used.

Congrats on getting accepted!

excellent!!! I love how you put the bike into context. It's fantastically done technically as well. Have you heard from them yet?
(I just sent these drawings into RISD myself..)

It all seems so dirty and rusted...The highlights on the hair make it look fantastically realistic, like I can reach out and touch it. The way his eyebrows are furrowed, the lines below his nose, the dark shades about his eyes, the way his face is so wide, it all makes him look so much older and more sorrowful. You did a really nice job on this one Sarah, a really nice job.

his facial expression is so intriguing. i can't tell if he's really angry or on the verge of tears...

The kid's facial mood sets the mood of the atmosphere. And I must say I love it. Looks like an old nostalgic photograph.
