Wow. I couldn't tell at first if this was a real kid with some kind of dirt or something or a statue that was weathered. The lips gave it away for me that it's a statue but I had to study it for a little bit. Well done!Temporary rating of 5 for sorting purposes only. My fourth place choice after seeing all the photos in the challenge. Bumped to 7
Simple and complex it can be quote beautiful and very scary at the same time. Excellant tonal control evoking many emotions and all are based on the texture surrounding the ethereal face. Well done and a worthy contender for a ribbon in this challenge.
