This was a real treat, so many different characters in one picture! The client sent photos and details on each of the guys in the caricature and from those I created line drawings then scanned in and coloured up in Photoshop. This was to be a special leaving present presented to the regiment on Paul’s last day so it had to be special – you don’t mess with a bunch of Paras!
The composition changed a few times until it looked more balanced, then as I was putting final detail in we heard that there were another 5 people to add….panic! I moved everything round until finally settling on this.
