I'm Innocent

While doing this pencil portrait, I couldn't help to think that the young man was just waiting until no one was looking to get into trouble.  His eyes clearly show a certain mischievousness. One huge challenge in this portrait was the mesh baseball cap -- each dark hole had to be drawn accurately in place to give the cap its gentle indentations.
