Steampunk Officer
Graphite Pencil on paper
This drawing began as a study sketch but, I love
to draw so it of course became a finished work. I used about six
different photos for reference. It is much easier for me to draw when I
have the image in front of me. Sometimes I can add little details
without a reference but, I usually have drawn it before or know the
subject well. Above is the finished work.
I began by drawing the man in the jacket without a
hat. It looked much like the reference drawing. I did not have a
copyright for the photo and was unable to track down the holder of the
copyright. This left me with a wonderful drawing but just a copy of
someones photo. I pushed myself to make the drawing my own by adding a
hat, bag, dials and tubes, along with the gadget he carries on his
back. It really made it much more steampunk. I am glad I continued
with the drawing. The legs are cut off from the original photo too.
I had fun drawing this man and hope you enjoyed it. Please follow this link if you are interested in purchasing this drawing for $75.
