This painting was a gift for the wedding of two wonderful people Willow Dawson and Ray Cammaert. The theme for their celebration was "The Boy and The Crow." Which I later found out worked off Willow's last name - Dawson meaning son of daw (Jackdaw) Ray being the boy.
I stuck with a two tone palette of burnt sienna, ultramarine and white. I laid down a neutral grey tone in the background and then worked the highlights and shadows up from there.

This looks fantastic! I love the look in his eyes, and how his hair looks like a crow's nest.
(Sorry. I've been AWOL from the blog -- and illustration -- for a while.)
amazing.
Great stuff. The boy looks like what Tyrone would look like if he was a cartoon and younger.
This is probably my favourite piece you've done. Probably because it's a darker piece compared to what you usually do, something I really dig.
Wow, I have a pet starling and he looks just like the crow in the painting...Its really cool. All frantic.
Good job
