caid

Drawing of my little cousin Caid...it took me about 2.5 hours. i did it from life, while he was eating breakfast and watching cartoons...

painting of Caid and his father, Joey, that i did a year ago. it was definitely an experiment, and i would do a LOT differently if i painted it now. but i like it for what it is...
