End of Great War Era German Askari

It's been a while since I've done any Great War portraits. Trying to get back to it. This was completed in late November of last year. Forgot how much I love learning about and drawing this subject. I typically shy away from illustrating soldiers in a way that obscures their uniform; it's both tedious and fun getting the little details right. But after doing a bunch of research, I came across some photos of Askaris wearing very tattered uniforms and some with their tarbushes decorated. I thought that would be fun to try and depict, so here's what I came up with.
