I'm assuming that this sketch is in futher development since I saw it; no more smirking. But he still seems asleep. Maybe you just worked on his lips and haven't gotten to his eyes yet.
I don't think he looks asleep mom. You had mentioned that the title of this picture is "Submission". Like I said to you earlier, in my opinion, if it's a submission out of shame, then I think he would have his eyes looking down. But if it's a humble submission, then I would have the eyes closed. It's hard to explain, but that's what I think. But mom, this really is a beautiful, moving picture. I love the contrast of light and darkness. I think this is one of your better "sketches". And why you call it a sketch, I don't know, because that is a work of art. Beautiful.
Thank you for your comments. I need to step into this picture to discover how I will interpret the feelings I want to express. Though I am very grateful for the paying commissions, I would love to draw only what I want. Dream on.....
At least you're getting paid to do work for other people. I've been stuck doing art for family for no pay at all, and not particularly anything I want to do. Just paint an old photo here, do my portrait there... I'm doing a portrait of my late grandfather, who passed last december, for my father. I do want to make that one special in some way. This drawing though is stunningly beautiful. I can't peel my eyes off. There's a lot of emotion permeating from his placid face, as well as a great deal of thoughtfulness. Lovely! Absolutely lovely!

Correct.
Stunningly beautiful, he looks like he is remembering something, something precious that he vows he will never forget.
