The software I used for this was illustrator and photoshop.

This is the distinctive unit insignia of the 54th Massachusetts Volunteer Regiment. The 54th is the Ceremonial Honor Guard of the Massachusetts National Guard and carries the lineage of the fighting 54th, the first African-American regiment organized during the Civil War, depicted in the Movie “Glory.” (more…)
Today’s sketch is a quick thumbnail of a potential caricature of my commanding officer. Nothing to outrageous, but I’d like to make it a stylized portrait with a twinge of humor.
