There’s a Test Today? is a portrait that blends realism with expressive character work. This piece reflects the charm, unpredictability, and humor of working with teenagers as a science teacher. The subject’s raised brows, parted lips, and slightly off-balance expression convey that universal student moment - when they realize something important is happening today.

The dark, shaded background pushes the figure forward, while the varied pencil textures in the hair and face add movement and emotional nuance. It’s a piece about connection, honest and the small moments in education that make the job memorable.

As a science teacher, I’m surrounded by expressions like this - authentic, unscripted reactions that tell whole stories in a split second. this drawing is a love-letter to the students who keep my work unpredictable, challenging and endlessly entertaining!

Styles: Contemporary Portraiture, Expressive Realism, Narrative Art
