The Terracotta Army

The Terracotta Army, Xi'an, China - 18H x 24W inches graphite, soft pastel on paper - work in progress

The Terracotta Army, Xi’an, China – 18H x 24W inches graphite, soft pastel on paper – work in progress. We visited China in 2016 so this is done from my own photos. The drawing looked boring so I added some stylized traditional Chinese characters that translate the title, “Terracotta Army”.  Some tones and details need a bit more work. Here’s a link to Wikipedia with info about the sculptures.
