13-15 year olds

I have looked up to my brother ever since I was little. Being the older sibling, he has always been there as a constant presence in my life, appreciated or not. I’ve always wanted to beat him in everything that I do because it would mean that I had reached the top, but if I could draw him with his characteristic closed-mouth smile, that would be enough too.
