What Are Little Boys Made Of?

So...my last post was the first part of the poem...What Are Little Girls Made Of, so it only made sense to do the second half next. I had fun planning this one. I couldn't find anything to paint from life that seemed creative enough, so I gathered photographic references of critters, and a pic of my beautiful boy...I like the result. Black ballpoint with colored pencil accents. I can't decide whether to put more color in, or leave it as is. What do you all think?
PS: this looks way better big, so make sure to click:)

    I'd leave this alone, too! I like it just as it is. Also, I'm a bit behind in my email, but I have to say, the last 4 posts are really great! nancy

    I LOVE it! I have three boys and I saw this piece and read your blog header and had a chuckle to myself while thinking "There's a girl after my own heart!!" Your work is lovely, glad I stopped by your blog. :)

    Of course you had to add this part. I am sooo glad I never found anything in my son's pockets that shouldn't have been there.
