"What should we do today?"
"I don't know."
"Well, you can think of anything!" I reminded him.
"How about Frankenstein?" he said with little hesitation. I love it that a little push so often works.
I did a search and handed him my iPhone before stepping into the other room to go get something.
"I got it!" he announced across the house.
"Let's see," I said as I walked back to the kitchen.
"Do you like it?"
"Let's see," I said as I walked back to the kitchen.
"Do you like it?"
"Yeah! It's spooky!"
"But can you make the eyes more furious?"
"Um...," I uttered not really understanding.
"Yeah, like maybe not just circles. You could draw triangles...if you want."
I followed his suggestion for the eyes, but in the end I'd say that mine looks far less "furious" than the original. I made the face too long. Perhaps that has something to do with it. Oh well. I usually feel pretty critical while drawing but after I take the photo and look at the finished drawing with fresh eyes I realize that it's not half bad. This one looks real good, especially if I don't look back at the reference.
He came over to take a look. "Dad, I said to make the eyes more furious! They look more tired."

You know the saying, You're your own worst critic? Well, he proves that saying wrong all the time. :)
