this is the original drawing given to me by Josiah's mom. this drawing is great, isnt it? so much thought went into what Josiah was drawing! the feet inside the boots, the big belts... with Josiah's mom we decided to use the one soldier on the right for the painting. i knew i had to keep this guy black and white and just play up the background because i didnt want to take away from what he had created, especially the feet/boots combo.
18"x24"i decided this was the painting on which to use a colour scheme that i have been loving for the past year or so! i first saw it on a friend's sweatshirt and have been secretly obsessed with this colour combo for a couple of years now! i added a slight white outline around the figure to make him 'sticker'-like, and also to help him pop out a bit more from the background!
this guy isnt quite finished as i am still working on the gradient on the helmet/body, etc to make him a bit more 3D, and then it'll be off to his new home!
I think the before and after gives a true snapshot of the amazing work you do!
