army trucks on campus

Army trucks, jeeps, battle tanks, field guns, armoured vehicles and army dogs are on the campus ground on 1 July to mark the Army Day. I wouldn't want to miss this rare opportunity to sketch the tank which is such a remote subject for me. The army boys could not resist to look at my sketchbook and they also helped me to take a picture while I was sketching. The hot weather was unbearable at about 34C (93F) for me to continue so I went back to my airconditioned office for the colouring.

More information from the graduates who are now in the army, on the left is a bionix on the right a V200..they are greek to me.

Today marks the army day and it is timely for me to post this sketch I did on 1 July 2004 on campus. I also did a new sketch today under the scorching sun and will post later.
