Evolution of the Navy. Colored Pencil and Shading Pencil on Paper. 2017.

I have always been fascinated with the armed forces. When I was younger I dreamed of being a Marine but as I got older, I realized that that probably wouldn't happen, but I still thought about serving the country. I love water and this led me to think about the Navy. That is where this idea came from. At first, I thought of doing a ship from every major war but after looking at some of them I noticed that two or three of them looked really similar, so I stuck to just doing four of them: Revolutionary War, World War I, World War II, and modern day ships. I chose to make the background a sunrise because it embodies the start of a new day and just another chance to change and to evolve.
