Description

firetruckboy :iconfiretruckboy: came across a pic of a Navy SEAL on Google (here:25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_me3… around early December and sent me a note, challenging me to draw it. So i went 'challenge accepted!'

This was a nice way to practice and sharpen my skills, and i even learned a thing or two. The digital camo was tricky, since i literally had to draw each 'pixel' in the pattern lots of times to get it right.

This was pretty fun to do, and meaningful in a way too, since though this would be sort of a portrait, it appropriately doesn't show his face and identity.


Used 2H, 2B, 6B, and clay eraser

anyways, Merry Christmas!

Can't believe how popular this has still been amongst all my artworks. Thank you all! :)

I think you did a fantastic job on this piece. Even though it is inspired by an actual photo, I think your work here has a much stronger impact. I love the contrast with the shadows, and I really love how the spots on his uniform are done in such a way where we can guess for ourselves whether its PART of the uniform design, dirt, or blood... it just adds to the overall feel of the piece. To be honest I can't really think of anything on this picture that needs improvement! I just know that I really love it and it was an instant fav!
