Chinese Infantry

The soldier in this drawing is based on what appears to be a communist mural with the soldiers being embraced by the peasants. The soldiers in that mural were tall and heroic in proportions while the peasants were jolly with rosy cheeks. Of course, I didn't conform to the heroic proportions and faces. I'm just messing about with this drawing and the previous one, working on my familiarisation with Chinese arms and armour.
