Description ACU & Boots (Again), graphite pencil on paper, 16 x20 inches.

I swore I'd never draw a set of ACUs ever again, but somebody HAD to have one and I don't have enough business to blow off a new customer, so... There's a whole lot of little squares on those things!

I also took the opportunity to get photos of each step in the process and do a tutorial.

Thank you. My obsession with detail sometimes plays off. That's why I liked that one piece of yours; it was so simple, but effective. I have trouble drawing like that.

Had one dude in BCT who got stuck with a set of those in '98. The drill sergeants kept asking him if he was going to try and fly away.
