Apofiss Art "Hello You"

This image inspires me not only because of its subject matter but that of its expression and movement. See the emphasis of the clarity of the eyes. The viewer focuses on this first. Then, the color of the eyes lead us out toward the ears, the nose and the mouth. Which then leads us down the rest of the body. The sketchiness of the light and dark of the paintbrush gives the subject its fluffiness, this is what inspires me the most. I feel like I could reach out and touch him. This is what I would like to accomplish for drawing or painting my animals.
