Home of the Brave

I have been working on a giant (7 x 5 ft) drawing of a War Veteran for my dad’s school Remembrance Day ceremony that was held today.  Here are some pics!

I used pencils to sketch and then markers to do the line work. Drawing this big was definitely new and a fun challenge. I spent a few days working on it on the floor and only when I stood it up on the stand, I noticed some proportion problems. Oh well, I am still happy with how it came out 🙂
