Here is the rough pencil sketch for the Spanish Soldier. The sketch is significantly more detailed than I had initially planned, but I found that the extra detail was required in order to depict the clothing and weapons clear enough for the curator to determine if the items in the drawing are historically correct.

The Pencil is done on tracing paper laid over a print out of the model. I referred to historical reference supplied by the client when drawing the clothing and weapons. The printout of the model is used as a rough guided to help in creating this 1650s Spanish soldier. The main purpose of this sketch is to get the clothing and weapons right—the perspective and anatomy will be worked out on the next round of pencils.
