Description

HBO's Band of Brothers is a mini series that follows Easy Company, part of the 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division from their training, through their drop in Normandie on D-day and all the way to the end of the war.

Ronald Speirs (retired as Lieutenant Colonel) I find to be a particularly interesting character/person, due to the rumors surrounding him (and the way he uses them to his advantage), and of course his field skills.

On the technical note. The directors must have a thing for nostril-shots with this guy. Like every other scene is shot downwards-up! It does make him look all badass and stuff, but it's of a challenge when it comes to drawing. I mean, you don't really want to see up a person's nose...

Pencils 2H - 6B + mechanical pencil. Reference photo is a screenshot from episode 10, Points.
The actor is Matthew Settle.

Nice capture of the camera blur; I'm currently working on a portrait that has the same effect in the foreground, so I thought it was interesting to see someone else establish the same thing in their work. Encouraging!
