68. Hero

For this 100TC Challenge, the subject was "Hero". So you have your chosen knight, but I thought it would be interesting to put the focus on the mysterious figure who has him in her palm. A hero can be born of circumstance - but who sets that circumstance into motion?

I did tiny pieces of this over the course of a month (just a few minutes of work before crashing every night), which is partially why it's such a hodgepodge design.

This is my second time working with colored pencils. It's a fairly bright piece in natural light, but I think the scanner made the colors a little too exagerrated - almost harsh.

If you have any favorite tutorials on colored pencils, passing the link(s) this way would be reaa~lly appreciated.

Thanks for taking the time to check this out!



Tools: Prismacolor pencils
Canson sketch paper (big mistake! Too rough!)
