Charles Upham VC and Bar

excellant sketch!

It certainly is different yet, still your amazing talent shines through!
Love the subject and color!

A very effective technique and so well drawn.

I’ll go google Captain Charles, I certainly agree with paul. excellent work

gorgeous

Thanks everyone, this one was fun. I normally draw on white paper, I guess I always have it lying around…but I chose brown this time cause I was thinking about desert sands etc. and with the brown you can add the white highlights. There will be more coming…

Wow – complete contrast but just as amazing. This is awesome. Perfectly placed on perfect paper for the sketch. Prefection allover – it is fantastic. Hope to see more work like this from you!

Thanks!
I believe my next project is to be Rommel (the Desert Fox).
