A Gladiator Sketch

I did this one a while ago too. Free-hand ink-pen sketch of a gladiator and coloured in with some felt-tip markers. I did this one when I was reading a lot of Wilce Portacio/ Art Thibert Marvel comics, and also when Jim Lee was drawing for Marvel. I was trying to copy that style of hatch and cross-hatch that those guys were using. I also was drawing much smaller heads back then and much bigger bodies (remember "Bishop" from X-Factor? -good example of what I'm talking about).

I know it's not pencils but...
