If each historical character had had a tattoo, what would it have been? Based on this question, I want to create a collection of drawings of historical characters with a tattoo that identifies them.
I wanted to start with Gandhi, an important historical character whom I tattooed an elephant, because this animal is a symbol of wisdom, peace, patience, and spiritual tranquility. Next I show you the result, and its elaboration process. I hope you like it.

5 Curious facts about Mahatma Gandhi
- The poet Rabindranath Tagore, was the one who gave him the title of Mahatma, which means "Big Soul". For this reason, he is known as Mahatma Gandhi.
- He was nominated 5 times to the Nobel Peace Prize, but he never won it.
- He is one of the maximum promoters of nonviolent protest, since he was a pacifist.
- He founded 3 soccer teams, all with the name of "Passive Resisters Soccer Club"
- He believed that taking the life of another being was unnecessary violence, for which he was a vegetarian. He felt respect for every life, for every living being.
Elaboration process
The eyes are the most important part when drawing a face. Its position and its symmetry deserve time and dedication to obtain a good result. Adding point after point, I filled the area of Gandhi's eyes, leaving a few highlights in the pupils, to give a touch of shine to the look.
I began to shade his face, using very dark points in the places where the shadow was more accentuated, to give a good contrast to the finish. For lighter areas, I separated the points and decreased the graphite pressure.
I continued filling the areas, until I finished his face. One of the parts that I liked the most was the area of the ears.
I gave shade to the neck using dark points, and I used a thin shading on the fabric that hung from Gandhi's right shoulder. I left the left side of his torso free, to add the elephant tattoo.
The elephant was what I liked most about the drawing, because apart from having a good appearance, it fit into Gandhi's body perfectly. From this point, I just had to finish shading the rest of the body, in order to obtain the final result
