He didn't want a bloody revolution but he has fought for freedom in a silent and powerful way using his pen
This is my official entry for @artguildph Contest #1 : An Art for Jose Rizal
Dr. José Protasio Rizal Mercado y Alonso Realonda, or well-known as Jose Rizal, The Philippine National Hero. A skillful man that mastered various skills, subjects and many things. He was a novelist, journalist, opthalmologist, playwright, sculpture, painter, farmer, educator, historian and a fine architect. He was also an anthropologist, ethnologist, sociologist, economist, dramatist, a cartographer and an expert in martial art, fencing and pistol shooting.
This guy is badass!
At an early age of 2 years old, he was already able to read and write and amazingly grew up learning 22 different langauges. He has written many poems that includes, Our mother tongue, To the Philippine Youth, Hymn to Labor and a lot more
He also published two historical novels during the tail end of the spanish colonial period in the philippines thay triggered the colonisers namely, Noli Me tangere and El Filibusterismo. Other than that, there were three animal species that were named after him : Draco rizali, Rachophorous rizali, and apogonia rizali
He became the Philippine national hero for he fought for freedom in a silent but powerful way.
Rizal started the action and freed the Philippines by using goodness for he was a symbol of goodness himself. The way he expressed his love for the country was very historical. Instead of war exploits he touched the colonisers through his novels, essays , articles and news.
He was really a renaissance man during his time. A very humble yet was able to fight for reforms through his writings instead of having a bloody revolution. Using his intellectual strength, skills and talents in a peaceful way we are now independent and free from colonisers.
This is just a brief throwback of what he has done for the countrymen and our country, Philippines.
Indeed Pepe is awesome!
Thats why im using my pen as well to give honor to the person behind the freedom we are experiencing today.
Here's a doodle art that includes some of his trademarks together with some doodle characters and patterns in the shape of him.

Closer view
The details
So the major elements that I included in my doodle art are,
- The symbol KKK - which stands for Katipunan which was a Philippine revolutionary society founded by Filipinos in Manila in 1892. Their primary aim was to gain independence from the hands of spaniard colonisers. KKK means, "Kataas-taasang, Kagalang-galang Katipunan ng mga Anak ng Bayan" or in english, Supreme and Honorable Society of the Sons of the Nation.

- Philippine Flag - of course, Jose Rizal wanted his country (which is Philippines) to be free and independent from the colonisers, he was empowering the coubtry through honorably raising the Philippine Flag and also as a sign of high respect and pride.
