Ilon Wikland study

“At The Café” (after Ilon Wikland), color pencil on Fabriano paper ✏️ First study from an art book I received yesterday 📖 Ilon’s ability to draw soulful figures and landscapes has impressed and influenced me since I first read “The Brothers Lionheart” as a child. It was with a sense of delightful terror I turned a page to look at another drawing of Tengil’s soldiers and the dragon Katla. Of course it didn’t take long until I drew my first warrior wearing a similar helmet as one of the soldiers in the book ⚔️

Assassin’s Creed Odyssey (after Wavenwater Michael Guimont)

Study after detail from concept art for Assassin’s Creed Odyssey ⛵️ I just love drawing boats in motion and the ocean - brings back fond memories of sailing with my grandfather and father. To a young boy those were perilous voyages and great adventures. Sudden gusts of wind taking hold of the enormous, rebellious sails, threatening to turn the small boat over. Huge waves of endless, restless water sending ice cold sprays into our faces... 💦

Iain McCaig Study

Study of a sketch by Iain McCaig, the Star Wars concept artist and Fighting Fantasy illustrator 🤩 Such remarkable variation in line flow, weight and value in the original, learn a lot from trying to achieve similar effects digitally that a master achieves when drawing traditionally ✏️

Wish you all a great week! ☀️
