Beautiful child, excellent soft lighting! I attempted no sketch, oil or watercolor; I only tried to improve the smile. It's not always easy to smile on command for a photograph.

Here's my version - sorry but I too didn't like to see a lad in a pink shirt.

cleaned, sharpened, adjusted color, balance, and contrast, and changed the shirt color. just a tiny bit of cloning around the edges of the face.

One more pencil. White layer and painting with hide all (black) mask and an impressionist texture.

Alcar how did you do that pencil drawing, did you give description on another thread, if so can you tell me where it is please?

Love renditions from everyone!

Very nice Craig.

Alcar: a beautiful pencil drawing look.

Legacy-Art, I did give this tute before, but I don't remember the thread. Here it is again:

1. Convert image to b&w.
2. Dupe background layer and set mode to Screen.
3. Adjust opacity.
4. Open new layer and fill with white.
5.Add a “hide all mask” (black) and paint with white brush.
(Use high opacity to outline figure and remove unnecessary elements, and use low opacity to brush in on face and hair. A black brush, of course, corrects any mistakes.)
6.If necessary repeat steps 4 and 5 to fine-tune image.

I did add a paper texture with Impressionist, but that's not necessary. Have fun.
