Thank you everyone for your lovely comments, suggestions and support.
I'm still not 100% happy with the pic, but it's MUUUUCH better than the first, and he looks more hispanic(like he's supposed to be) in this one, instead of native, as he did in the first one..

Special thanks to

euclase who's advice for drawing children was superb. I shall never forget it. <3

His mom loved it, by the way, and of course, we both had a good cry.

*sigh*

I've almost finished the portrait of my friend's child, but I'm not happy with it. :(

I mean, all and all, it's not half bad, as far as portraits go, but since this child is DEAD, I feel like it's got to be better. Much better.

I've aged him here (unintentionally, of course) and I think I'll try again, but focus more on the rounded features of a seven year old. I aged my own son when I drew him too. My eyes are obviously more drawn to angles than curves, and little kids are more curvy.

I also went too heavy with the black in the shadows. I should have used rich dark browns instead, so the look more like shadows and less like dirt.

Any other crit would be much appreciated.
