Be Inspired, Part 5…Jackie Robinson

Next came Jackie Robinson who is widely regarded as the African American baseball player who first really made it in the major leagues.  Using a black and white photograph, reference information about the colors of the Brooklyn Dodgers uniforms and such, I created an image of him sliding into a base…. I decided not to try to simulate the cloud of dust!  Here is the tracing/sketch from the photo, with shadow lines:

Then the panel with Robinson pinned to it, sliding into base from the upper left corner….
