The Little Artist

[Jimmie Arroyo]

Hi Jean,

There's a lot I like about this so the little stuff that bother me stand out. First, I really dig the background, the jump from dark to light above his head to the right. Someone else may not like it, but I like how it works as an abstract element.

The pencil really bugs me, you may have had intentions on addressing it at a different time, but I brought it up because you only mentioned working on the background and his left hand. There is higher contrast all about the painting, but the pencil falls very flat.

If you were going to change it anyway, then ignore me. I'm sure you'll give it a great finish!
