JOHN CARPENTER'S
ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK
A3 SKETCH



This is an A3 sketch I started on friday of Kurt Russell in John Carpenter's Escape From New York. The piece has taken around 7 hours and I'm very proud of this piece.

I saw this image on the net and decided to use it as a reference to draw from. I have been asking artists on here and on twitter for advice and they all said the same practice! They are very true with there words.

I'm also convinced that Kurt Russell in this film influenced Hideo Kojima in the Metal Gear Solid games. What would have happened if John Carpenter never made it? Thankfully we will never know and as a Metal Gear Solid fan I simply had to draw this piece

As you probably know with me by now is that I will have a play with the image on my tablet and do a few variants. Plus I will also try & take a better photo of the piece.


This sketch is dedicated to Kurt Russell, The Art Of The Steal and Martine (TAOTS). All of which I have respect and can never thank enough
