Sung-Hyun Cho Adorable imp

Age 13

13-15 year olds

I have chosen to depict my little cousin because he is such a happy virus and never knows how to be sad. He is a playful imp that likes to wrestle my family members and me. However, in this piece, I have depicted his favourite hobby – something that totally contrasts with my ideas about him: his love for origami. His thoughtful face is not so much like a five-year-old, not so much like the typical imp that I would imagine.
