Description
I made this drawing last summer in order to make some experiences.I realized it by hand copying a photo given by a friend of mine, Avary (which is on Deviant Art), to practice my sense of observation.
I tried very hard to be the nearest possible to the original photo, but there is a lot of differences between the two pictures.
I used pencils, inks and digital colors.
The subject is a British sniper protecting the advance of a sort of tank.
Comments welcome.

Nice. The smoke screens, or what ever it is, are great (I always have troubles with smoke and clouds). The sniper himself is neat, the camoflage and his gun...perfect!

looks cool, i really like the shapes and style but it maybe looks a little too bright.
I'd expect a dirtier frumpier look than these bright clean colors in a desertwar soldier but all in all it looks great.
