Following more in-depth research Finnes main achievements in life are in some way or another exploring. Having taken part in over 30 expaditions. Drawing through research I was attempting to make images that emphasise the perils of what he was doing, perhaps a tribute to the achievements that he's earned through isolation or discomfort coupled with determination.
During the initial crit this image (right) was commended along with the tools, it was suggested that stamps could be made showing equipment. The portrait was said to reflect him well making use of the polar medal. I enjoyed drawing Finnes with of the gear on however I want to avoid simply drawing his face. I might go on to draw him wearing other garments representational of his other achievements.
My aim with these figures was to show isolation and the challenge of a task ahead. The massive backpack making it look rather difficult for Ranulph.
