UNNAMED : SOLDIER
Done during CSSSA (California State Summer School for the Arts). Everybody in my class was given a canvas and did a quick underpainting of somebody else in the class; each person picked a canvas at random to base their final paintings on.
Did not use any reference photos for the most part.
I was not trying to convey any message through this work other than the aesthetic. This is not meant to be a political work in any way, shape, or form.
First draft completed in the summer before the revisions made later in the first image.
