I titled this piece " Boy in Many colors" as an artist i have been asked several times like, whats is your favorite color? to me i feel that a very hard question to ask a visual artist, most times i usually shy away from such question because if i say i have a fourite color i may not be truth to my self, but yeh dont get me wrong i do like some specific colors but it all depends on my mood or probably where i am going to. but when it comes to colors, i love all colors. i dont see one color as the best because color has a way of piercing through the heart and mind of an individual.

As you can see from my drawing i played around with so many colors, thats because i find it difficult sometimes to be very selective, and then from my sketch you will noticed i played around with all the colors i had on my desk.

Progress shots

Below are my progress work from start to finish, this drawing shows my artistic touches, pencil strokes and art texture. after doing my frame work sketch i started applying my crayon color on the hat of my subject, i started from top to bottom so that i wont mess up my work with my hand, spreading stains of my charcoal pencil and crayon all over my paper.

final work.

This work just illustrates the beauty of colors in a particular work. colors have a way of bringing out the best in any thing, and from my drawing i had to beautify my subject, so that he can look really sharp.

This is a very beautiful and touching drawing. The facial expressions look very innocent and cute. The colors of the hat are very vibrant. This makes the picture come alive. The sparkle in the eyes and the smile on the lips give a sense of happiness in the picture. The use of colors and shading shows your hard work and creative thinking. Great job. Keep it up.
