Joey is a kid who doesn't look as if he's looking for your say so, or approval. He just is. He is looking steadfastly into the gaze of the other, camera held in hand, as if to say "this is what I'm doing, are we ready to go?" The pointillism gives it a popping look without taking away from the effect achieve in the sketch. The colored version gives a nice wash background that pops the character into view, and the digital version enhances the whole by creating a sort of characterized portrait.
