A wonderful rendering of this historic moment. Your technical skill with light and shadow really come to the forefront here. Wonderful detail in the background. Super pose for the star of this accomplishment. Very well done.

Even if its almost 61 year ago, he was still a modern hero, actually one of those who always be kept in the memory of human and in the history books because it is one of the best human feature to dream of reaching new shores and than actually get what they dream of. Just Hilary's famous quote: It is not the mountain we conquer but ourselves. A great Memorial for the Man and the Event.

Comment from Sessybon
I love the way you have graduated the sky and cleverly blended the darker to lighter blues. The climber is well drawn and the light on the jacket and trousers is excellent. His stance is very grounded in the picture. The flag and string give it a feeling of movement in the wind. Great work.

Amazing, the concept and piece. Your ability with markers is fantastic, the way you blend the colors! The stippling in the background really gives that feeling of being there. Nice composition.
