Values in Action - Citizenship

Description

This is the first of a 12-part series of compositions featuring Russell, one of the core characters from Pixar Animation Studios' next film, Up.

The twelve central values of Cub Scouting are (in no particular order... necessarily):

- Citizenship
- Compassion
- Cooperation
- Courage
- Faith
- Health and Fitness
- Honesty
- Perseverance
- Positive Attitude
- Resourcefulness
- Respect
- Responsibility

According to the "Scouts": Character is "values in action".

Additionally, my mom discovered this:

Scout Law:

- Trustworthy
- Loyal
- Helpful
- Friendly
- Courteous
- Kind

I love these tenets, and happened to stumble upon them as I browsed the official website of the Boy Scouts (which you can access here: [link]). Consequentially, I decided that I wanted to draw Russell exercising these twelve basic principles. I know that he is a Wilderness Explorer and not a Boy Scout, but it's the closest I could get to the institution/club he belongs to.

In this particular instance, Russell is demonstrating his patriotism/citizenship.

Advanced critique is greatly encouraged.

Note: A reference was used when drawing this composition.
