Original artwork description:
Photo-realistic graphite pencil portrait of U.S. Navy diver "Carl Brashear" as portrayed by Cuba Gooding, Jr. in the movie "Men of Honor." The inspiration for this portrait was derived from the real-life exploits of Brashear who, after suffering limb-loss due to a tragic diving expedition, fought back. Essentially, the military and naysayers denying his disability and diving functionality.
Mr. Brashear overcame and went on to be the first-ever naval diver to perform his duty with prostheses (lower limbs).
Personally, I sustained limb-loss stemming from bone cancer. Mr. Brashear's saga had profound impact on me. My emotions flowed via my pencil.
Materials used:
Graphite pencils (0.5mm mechanical pencil, 5H, 2H, HB, 4B, 6B), cotton balls, Q-tips, blending stumps, kneaded eraser
