This isn’t exactly a Thorn concept drawing, but I did recently go through part of the Inheritance Cycle, by Christopher Paolini, involving Murtagh and Thorn.
Also, after looking through several Dore engravings I noticed there’s special care given to each background, and so I spent a little more energy on the clouds…which one of my daughters pointed out as her favorite part of the sketch.
A quick doodle in my 6×9 sketchbook:
Here’s a doodle I did in the really nice ink sketchbook my wife gave me for Christmas. It’s about 6″x9″ – the perfect size for ink doodles!
This is what I call a free-association drawing where I begin with a simple shape and build outward from that as a reference point. In this case, it would be the main character’s face.
Opening scene from the book, Son of the Black Sword by Larry Correia, where Ashok Vadal must face sea demons. I drew this with ink pens, then scanned it and cleaned it up some on my iPad with the ProCreate app.
