NaArMaMo Day 8 - Field Marshal Rommel

And now for something completely different... Today's entry for the [livejournal.com profile] naarmamo National Art Making Month challenge.

Field Marshal Rommel



Drawing with colour wash
Why Rommel, you may ask? Well, for a start, my high school nickname was Rommel because of my wargaming, and also [livejournal.com profile] redstarrobot and I were talking about Tank Girl goggles, so I thought I'd do Tank Man. Oh yes, and he was played by James Mason and Red and I rather like him. ;-)

[Edit] It occurs to me that he may look more like Bester of the Psi Corps than Rommel of the Afrika Korps. :-P

My NaArMaMo Gallery is here.

Your color wash work is really amazing. You do great people & fantastic shading & translucency.

Thanks! I'm not that happy about some of the shadows on his face, but hey.

Wow. Really good, to my untutored eye.

Oh, I'm completely untutored myself. Thank you!
