Sketch Book 1




Just two sketches of a supporting character from one of my books. At first, I was having second thoughts of having such a physically scarred character in one of my stories, didn't want it to be grotesque or feel like "shock" value or anything. But after watching a report on CNN on returning Iraq veterans, and how so many of them have suffered incredible injuries in the line of duty...suddenly it seemed to make sense to have a military character, in a military/espionage-based story to have injuries as visible as these. I went from shrapenel scars to burn scars, for story reasons of course.

Still having a tough time nailing down a pattern to constantly work from page to page, and panel to panel, consistently.
