Went all black and white for this one. Based on an image from a book of war photography i chose this guy as his eyes really seem to tell a story of what he's seen, experienced and endured. I took a certain amount of license with his face, I made him look a little more square jawed all American hero and emphasised the point with the heavy black outlines around the jawline and neck area, almost to give it a comic book feel. Using Painter IX again, got my favourite brushes sorted out by now and have decided that it's best to have a few brushes that you use to create our own style rather than trying to mimic so many other fantastic artists out there.
