Maybe it will be an image of some military equipment in the ruins of the city or a plane in a blazing sky, or a nurse in a hospital, or an old woman looking out the window with the hope of the return of her son or husband. The main thing is that it comes from the heart. Then the image will come out with a soul. Not a single person can remain indifferent, thinking about the past and drawing a war. A state of war, a hostile attitude towards it and the destructive consequences that it leaves behind are transmitted on a sheet of paper.
Color and paint military drawing
