Really like the green eyes.

Maybe add more contrast to the leaves?

i like the texture a lot and the brown with green...nature colors.
not more contrast , but I would prefer clean contours. especially for the leaves that stand out and seem to float. well done with the face and hear.
good work.

Nice! I like the dim brown colours, earth colours, and the way his green eyes stand out from the rest and becomes a focus point. But you could have shaded the eyes a bit, possibly adding a white spot of reflection in them. Still, nice painting!

Thanks everyone !!
I'm really happy with how this simple pasttime doodle turned out.
I personnaly like when some parts of a painting are just barelly recognisable, a bit blurry, standing side by side with well defined figures and forms, to enhance the contrast and create focal points, that's why i kept the leaves undefined. And in my mind they are flowing and flying from and around the character.
But you're right about his eyes, Jane, I could have worked them a bit more !!
