abandoned warrior
first abandoned, later redeemed...
This was an abandoned sketch that I did some time ago. It just wasn’t turning out the way I wanted. My typical asymmetry gave way to symmetry, and then I didnt like the shape of the helmet. Blah. Not to mention a few other things…
…but today I looked at my doodle and thought, “I’m going to try to polish it up a bit…” and I did.
Even though this has ink squiggles from me testing other pens etc, and unerased red-lines, it’s still able to be saved from the trash. I liked the face of the guy I drew inside the faulty suit of armor. He is tenacious, a fighter, a warrior.
Call me sentimental, but today I had plenty of time to just sit there quietly with my son as he tries to wrap his head around why he had a potential heart attack at 19. Today seemed like a good day for second chances.
If you want to hear more about my eldest son, come on over to our family blog: www.azmann6.com
I’ll try to do my best to explain what’s been going down with him. 
This is good.
