little preview shot of the eagle for the America themed sleeve.

Personally, this is my favorite way to approach a sleeve. All focus is on objects that represent the idea.  Then you make 'em big and bold!  Can't wait to get into color!

But before I do that....EXPANSION! I've been given the green light to go full sleeve on this one. (including half chest) So, in order to achieve a balanced color scheme and overall composition I'll be designing the rest of the arm first and bringing those pieces to their foundation stage like the eagle above.  A sleeve can be a long road if rushed so I'm thankful for my clients patience for the process.  Be on the lookout for updates on this lil' gem throughout the year!
