stars and stripes

Artist Statement

For this project we were asked to draw/create something that meant something to us, and incorporated stars and stripes. What I did was a M4 carbine that's used in the military, and made scratch marks for the battle they went through during the fights.

For this project, I needed my oversized rough paper, colored pencils, 2 drawing pencils (B,HB) and silver pencil.

How I kicked this project off was I started off with wanting to do the top of a 1911 shooting a bullet and the bullet had an american flag casing on it but i decided to go big or go home with a big drawing of an M4, This is not an exact copy of aa military M4 but its a tactical M4 carbine 223. I started off with just the gun and then I moved on to doing the scratch marks with Red and Blue for military and police, then did black and white stripes for the B&W military flag.
