Small Wonder- Sweet Childhood

Childhood is the first stage of life. We all have a memorable childhood.  As children, we all have done some kind of silly things which if we do remember now will put a smile on our face.

The memories of childhood have their own place in an individual’s heart. As we grow old we feel more and more attached to childhood

.

It’s the most pleasant period which is free from any kind of worry and anxiety. No wonder we all from the deep inside of our hearts want to be children again.

Here I have sketched a mischievous boy with the help of 3h, 2b, and 6b pencils. For shading and smudging, I have used earbud and fingertip.

Thanks and have a nice day.

"The rule is that people can only ask for one thing, not many things," she said. "Don't be greedy."
