So, I was inspired by gbsketch on tumblr. They’ve been posting every day for over TEN YEARS. Not quite my goal, but shoot for the stars amirite. Anyways, here’s the art I did for January! Notice how it gets more complex and time consuming as time goes on. You would think it would be the other way, but nooo I can’t do anything simple.
(I’m working ahead because I know myself. She she’s a huge procrastinator and sucker for instant gratification and not to be trusted.)
Yet another grad school project. I chose to illustrate Ivanhoe, which was not as good as I wanted it to be. But, Pen and ink suits medieval novels very well.
Cedric makes his dog leave the table :( and Wamba makes a witty, probably insulting observation.
Bois Gilbert and Prior Aymer travel, hoping to find some shelter before the storm. Being struck by lightning is too good for them.
A convenient monk fresh from the HOly Land! Who could it be? Not the sworn enemy of Bois Gilbert:)
No really, it’s definitely the only Saxon knight who can defeat the Norman champions and it’s CERTAINLY not the estranged son of the lord whose mansion he’s pointing to.
Rowena, a beautiful and spirited heroine in love with Ivanhoe. Not to be confused with Rebecca, the beautiful and spirited woman in love with Ivanhoe.
Stay safe, and have a wonderful day!
