The Soldier

A piece I completed as part of my AP Drawing portfolio back in 2012. Following my concentration theme of "masks," I illustrated a WWI soldier wearing a gas mask and surrounded by noxious fumes. Although I thought I had done enough research, apparently the helmet is wrong and the uniform is slightly off for the time (according to a military junkie friend). I was really happy with how this piece turned out back then, since I didn't use harsh shading and crosshatching a lot back then. Completed in February 2012.
