Description: The idea for this lesson came to me just yesterday when I watched my brother tell my parents how much it meant to him to become a Marine. Of course they don't approve of his decision because they feel that he could put his skills as a person to better use, but since he was just a little boy he has always talked about becoming a Marine. This lesson will show you how to draw a Marine, step by step and the face I used as the Marine is actually my brother Jeremy. He is sixteen years old and in eleventh grade, and when I say that this picture looks just like him, it really does look like him. The ice blue eyes, the stern stare and the serious nature of his looks. The tanks in the background are there because he is also a really big fan of building complicated model tanks. He has an airbrush and the whole nine to complete all his models with. Anyways, if you know someone who is a Marine or was a Marine, this would make an excellent lesson to tackle. I hope you have fun with it. I'd like to think that this tutorial is a tribute to all those men and woman out there who lost their lives and even risked their lives serving our Country. Adios folks and there are more lessons coming your way so stay put.
