Watercolor portrait of a boy

Hello, hivers!

Today I want to share my new drawing, but now it's a full figure, since I need better analyse body proportions. All children have very big head proportionally to the body. So even with a very serious face we can recognize the age of our hero. And also nose and ears are important, because they are growing during all our life, and in the childhood we have them real small.

My only failure is dark background, since I started with it, and could not measure the darkness. But according to the rule that in watercolour we are drawing closer objects with darker colours I am not sure that I can present background in different way.

The reference was much more brown all around, but I changed colours a little bit so that not to make a grisaille picture. And it seems to me that clothes are very successful. The texture of shirt and trousers, and even cap look realistic.

And it is still cheap scool papers. Thank you for looking and reading :)
