Description This was inspired by the contest title for the Graphite Club

Woohoo! Just found out I got 3rd place!
Congratulations to for 1st place and for 2nd place!

About the drawing

"The first Meeting" is between grandfather and his second grandson (my youngest!),

"Gransha and Matthew"

Another Christmas present.

It has taken about 15 hours, and although it is done for now, I will no doubt go back to it in a month to check it over and see what needs more work.

Used Graphite 4H to 9B, cotton balls, cotton buds, blender, putty rubber, pencil rubber and brush and sharp rubber

So, this is my entry into the competition, hope you like it!

are you kidding? Yours is another sure-fire win, in my book

seriously, if I have something already in the works that would fit the theme, I'd definitely enter. I just don't know if I have time, otherwise. Too many deadlines lately!!

What,.............even the screwed up new born baby face!

Was bit worried that I would still get him to look cute, cos newborns can be so funny looking, but it was the first time, so wanted to keep it the same.

Thank you!
