Arvi

A good friend, Arvi has definite gestures when he engages in conversation. He points, shrugs and opens his palms. In short, any portrait of Arvi has to include his hands telling the story.

      I was pleased with the result. Interesting things happen when you draw. You see the young person, especially in the eyes, softened. I used a line technique for this drawing after two false starts.
