This is not my original art.. its a mastercopy of russian master Fechin work when i was studying drawing at the Illustration Academy in Kansas City. I went there to the illustration academy 6 years ago to study with legendary illustrator of the 80s Mark English (TIMEs, Sport Illustrated etc) and his son John English as well as other great illustrators. My original in the Fetchin style is down here of my father.
When i was studying there Mark English invited us to him Home and studio. He even gave me one of his drawings. Unfortunately he passed away last year.. but he will be in our hearts forever.
Heres a pic of me with him.
I eventually made the study sketch into a digital painting in Vanessa Lemen's class. Thanks for your time and follow me for more art!!!!
