This was done for my illustration III class as an assignment about a social activist. I chose to depict Sitting Bull and put emphasis on his connection to and respect for the Earth. I wanted to make the statement that he left a mark upon this world, much like the foot print of any animal. He donated his life's energy, much in the same way that an eagle sheds its feathers and a deer sheds its antlers: his spirit was a gift, but it came so naturally to him to give it for his people. He was a truly beautiful man.
