LONGINUS

Sketch 1

(Black-ink pen)

While drawing this Roman Centurion, I was faced with a very great challenge.  My goal was to create a figure that had dramatic movement without repeating myself.

This actual rendering was zoomed-in so the lines look thicker than they really are.

In my original drawings, all pen-strokes are thin, fine lines. I start with an outline of Longinus' lower body.
