He Calls It Home - Red

Urban Art District
This is a marker drawing of a young man who calls New York City his home. He was brought up in the urban life � on the streets of the city. He reflects on the choices he has made and knows that his struggles made him the man he is today.
This image started as a rough sketch as something to do to pass the time. I began adding shadows, highlights, and textures with black, white, and red. I was going for an abstract, graffiti-like look. The graphics of the buildings in the background are solid, as is the strength of his character.
