Remembering 9/11…..in a sketch part 1

SONY DSC

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.

  1. 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.
