Duplicity

My little brother Danny. Graphite. 10x10

From photo. I don't even have to ask him to pose a certain way. As a matter of fact, I can't, he doesn't always listen. He makes these faces of his own accord! So the expressions are all his. I merely compose.

Towards the end of my AP Porfolio concentration the portraits had a running theme of duplicity.
