Female Soldier 07 painting

This is a new painting with the same subject I have done before: a female soldier firing her Colt M45A1. It's a classic pistol that has been involved in lots of wars in history and even in the media. This is the first time I have used gouache to paint the gun, and it looks good. P.S. Do not use paper tape on your sketchbook; it will end up like this.
