Several years ago I was taking a class where we were asked to draw a character on paper, scan it and then proceed to color the character digitally through Adobe Illustrator. I was quite a novice with digital coloring at the time and my inexperience with the program wasn't giving me the results I was looking for as far as the line work went.
A few months ago while looking through some of my older pieces, I came across this soldier and felt that the piece really deserved another shot. I've grown so much as an artist that I felt I could finally bring him to life in the way I had always wanted to. I'm very happy with the progress so far. Not only with the line work and the coloring, but finally being able to fix some of the small things that I always felt could use a bit of tweaking.
I'll be keeping you all updated on the progress of this piece here and eventually once it's done I'll be adding it to the Character Design page on my site.
