Movember 2014 Sketchbook Project
This year we decided to do the Movember challenge at my day job Márla Communications. The design team grew ridiculous moustaches all for a good cause. Alongside this I decided to do a Movember inspired sketch for each day of the month. This was a great experience as it not only kept me sketching daily, but it also filled in for the fact I totally forgot to do Inktober!
The shots below are from each of the spreads in the 30 days (decorated with the tools used), plus some close up details of each.
I hope you enjoy

General Sherman ordered the resumption of the Union advance into Georgia. He ordered General Thomas to defeat the army of Hood while he planned to advance north to assist Grant in his defeat of Lee. Grant was fighting 1,000 miles away so Sherman marched his men to Savannah to allow for a march up the eastern coastline. Bolstered with plenty of supplies acquired from Atlanta, Sherman was confident of success. He also knew that the land his men were marching through was rich in supplies.

From an old grainy photo it looked like he had a moustache, but most show him without one... so here he has one!

"Over the top"
29th and 30th of Movember
I was always facinated by world war one and two. What fascinated me even more was the way troops would go over the top and get cut down. Such bravery met with brutality.
