Here's a sketch I did of Mahatma Gandhi for a recent competition on the NCN forum. The competition was to draw an illustration for a made up magazine article entitled 'Secret History', which depicted a historical figure revealing a secret side of themselves. My idea was to show Gandhi participating in an underground fight club (much like the movie), in order to release some of the aggression he built up through a lifetime of non-violence. This sketch was just a facial likeness study. I intended to draw Gandhi in the ring, surrounded by spectators, with blood on his robes and an evil grin on his face, but unfortunately I don't have time to keep up with the competition deadlines, and to be honest, after watching the movie Gandhi, I'm going off the idea of drawing him in this way, it just seems wrong! Anyway, I may revisit it at a later date.
