Art Livgardist's exploration of his own drawing abilities

As the title says. I recently discovered that I have some smidge of drawing abilities. I'm better at photoshop, so I'll be drawing outlines on paper, and coloring in photoshop. I shall put up what I make here.

First one today. Not finished obviously. Inspired by Solid Snake and the Swedish Army's equipment. I'll color it in photoshop. One day I'd also love to learn shading.

Today, Charlton Brando. I mean Marlon Heston.

Basically, it was supposed to be Charlton Heston, but it didn't pan out.

Edit 1: Inked and scanned. I'mma photoshop it next.

I'm still nowhere near other people's art skills that I see on DeviantArt, but I learned a lot today when colouring this picture in Photoshop. Added some textures on there too. Using a scanner as opposed to a camera (cell phone camera to be specific) as I did on the first picture in this thread, makes one hell of a difference. As does using Photoshop instead of my old favorite, PhotoImpact.

Thank you! I can't really complain about what I managed to produce. Until a few weeks ago, I thought my artistic abilities were limited to stick figures.
