Description
Reference used- a photo of a plaque honoring the Massachusetts 54 regiment of the Civil War: the very first all African American regiment.I love the movie Glory and I was all excited when it was actually a requirement to watch it for my history class. So I was bored and just scribbling and decided to try something with my airbrush and just use black, gray, and silver for colors. So Itβs Colonel Robert Gould Shaw riding his horse beside his regiment.
The real plaque is so much cooler

Although I normally enjoy drawings with more detail, there is something about this picture, I can't stop looking at it. This is really one of those pictures, I believe, where "less is more".
I can still see faces and very vague experssions, I also like how the troops kind of merge together. I don't know, I'm rambling, what I mean to say is that it's a very good drawing and I LIKE it!
(Not sure why I wrote that comment like an art critic, but I hope you get what I'm saying. ^^)

I'm glad you did! Ah, I'm really glad. I don't really what a "Proper" comment would be, I don't want to write a whole book and bore someone to death with it, but neither do I really just want it to be only a few words because I don't think that person would really get what I was meaning to say.
You're very welcome.
