This gateman's uniform reminds me of a Swiss Guard - slightly ceremonial look - helmet, ruff, tabard, full trousers and calf-length boots. Just replace walkie-talkie with halberd, pike or musket and you'd be back in the 17th century. I began this sketch some weeks ago and left it unfinished. Still a way to go. But today I was occupied with allotment shed repairs and a walk - so less time for sketching. Tomorrow will be different - and I might spend more time on this figure. |
