Part one of a project I'm starting; I have most of the heads sketched out on paper; but most of them don't look like themselves, so I'm working on putting together a series of portaits of Penguins players, hoping that I have it done by Christmas to present to my Mom.

This might get put on hold until July because that's when the NHL draft takes place and we know for sure who's staying and who's going. This is also for me to practice drawing guys :3

This is the goalie, Marc Andre-Fleury (Who, if you know French, will undestand why they call him Flower). His most noted achievement this season was an amazing 55 saves in the triple-overtime game 5 that kept the Pens' alive for one more game in the Stanley Cup Final.

I referenced this picture for his face:

Besides Sid, he's the only one that turned out right on the first try.

I snapped a photo of my sketch with my camera phone, then took it into OC where I did this.

Hope you dig :3
