Portrait of le little cousin

Chrismas present for le grandmother, portrait of le little cousin Zachary.
Was a good study for another technique which required to start with a green underpainting (which you still can see as greenish-gray shadows).

Brilliant work. The only thing that gets me is that the eyes seem almost too bright compared to the rest of the painting. That's just me, though. The green underpainting gives the whole piece a great tone.

DonStracci responds:

Thanks, I agree it could use more gray in the eyes it would make it less contrasted for a more realistic finish, sadly had to rush it for the chrismas deadline.
