Remembering 9/11…..in a sketch part 1
And the race is on……I may have bit off more than I can chew. But WOW, if there’s any picture more meaningful out there than this one, please show me. I’d like to have this done by September Eleventh, but who knows?
I brought the image into Photoshop and created a 8 x 11 blank page and placed the colored version next to the black/white version. Then printed it out. I thought this would help me to see the details easier as I’m sketching.
As soon as I saw this on my monitor I saw what needs to be done next.
Yep……ERASE. That head tilt is way too exaggerated. Something didn’t look right. Funny, I couldn’t see it before.
Now…..if I can just keep drawing without crying.

About Me
- Eden
- By day...I work in the Healthcare field, where every .. i.. has to be dotted and every ..t.. has to be crossed. This blog is the place where I can let myself go and have some fun. I am on a journey. A journey I started a long time ago, but it has been a bit sidetracked with Navy Wife relocations and raising kids. I finally see the light at the end of the tunnel and I have got some time for me. No, I will not be one of those moms walking around the house with Empty Nest Syndrome, I have got way too much to do, to learn, to create. Sure, once the kids are gone I will miss them....but hey, there is always the phone, the email, the texting and the Plane tickets! I love my life and my family and It is fun moving into this new stage. I am into Digital Scrapbooking, photography, journaling, Art Journaling and Drawing. I am a do-it-yourselfer and I am trying to teach myself to draw. I am finding that it takes a lot of patience, lots of practice and a good eraser! And if you're really curious there's a 3 part Interview by Eileen: HERE All the best, Eden

actually, the angle of his head is completely dependent on the flag's position. I think he is looking right up at the flag, even though it is different than than the original.
I just looked the the picture again. Yes, you need to get that head tilt corrected.
*hugs*
yes, definitely keep a box of kleenex next to your pencils. i so admire you for doing this.....and i already know it'll be done in a fabulous eden way! xoxo
True the head tilt and his helmet is a little to rounded. But so far your doing good.
