It's All in the Eyes

Name: Waheed

One of the most unsettling and thought-evoking experiences one can have is to look into the eyes of a person with special needs. It is at that time that the word handicapped does not apply to the person you are looking at... but rather is more apt for the reflection that one sees in his eyes.

A quick study on digitally painting skin. Undeniably one of the toughest thing to pull off convincingly given the subsurface scattering that occurs when light hits the skin.

Waheed... only God knows why you were chosen for such a heavy responsibility. The only thing I know is that you are truly a gift for this family... a mirror that shows everyone their real selves and makes them want to be better people. God bless you.
