Description: Haymitch Albernathy, played by the amazing Woody Harrelson, becomes a pot bellied drunk. You wonder why the victor of the 50th Hunger Games would be such a drunken slob. After 2 weeks of his victory, Haymitch's mother, younger brother, and girlfriend were killed by President Snow, as punishment for Haymitch using the force field to his advantage killing one of the opponents leaving him the victor. That murderous act could take the life out of anyone. So this tutorial is in tribute to one of the engaging characters of this already popular movie and bestselling book. I wanted to treat you in this "Hunger Games" tutorial. You can draw Haymitch's 3/4 view, profile or both. I just want you to have fun. Let me know what you experienced by commenting, faving and voting. Much love to you all. I cannot wait to hear from you.
