This is a commission I've been working on the past few days. The subject is a US soldier who was killed recently. The commissioner is giving this to his family with condolences.

Make sure you thank a soldier next time you see one.

I did this drawing on Bristol Smooth which I haven't used in a while. I forgot how difficult it is to get darker tones on this paper.

awesome! But i don't mean to be nit-picky... he is a Marine not a Soldier. Soldiers are in the Army.

Amazing drawing though. Great job
