The look in this young boy's eyes grabbed me so I had to try and capture it in a drawing. It's from a National Geographic photo.

About Me
- Pierre
- Long, long ago, during the last century, I attended PSU in Portland, Oregon and bounced around in different majors. I thought I would be an artist for a while but science captured my interest. I eventually landed in Engineering and spent my career designing various mechanical things. I've returned to my artist roots and have been drawing portraits. For now, I'm only working in graphite. I'm also just drawing from photos. That way, I don't have to be concerned about my subject getting too tired to hold a pose. I like doing candid shots of strangers because it makes for a more interesting subject. --- My wife and I have moved to Phoenix, Arizona from Oregon to be close to our kids and grandkids. What a weather change! Our children grew up in the Pacific Northwest around rain and green but they all congregated in Phoenix. The moss on our backs has dryed up and fallen off. We're slowly getting accustomed to dry and brown.

Such intensity in his gaze!
He has a very soft look. What's the back story? There is a photo that haunts me; a cover on a NG. And it was possibly the most beautiful human (aesthetically), I've ever seen. He was half Sami, half Norwegian.
The photo was from NG contest published online. No story but the young fellow looked Scandinavian. He was wearing a heavy sweater and had suspenders.
This is beautiful, Pierre.
Thanks Petrea. I appreciate your comments.
