I thought I’d try my hand at a pencil sketch, rather than the usual inks.
Pencil is a lot more forgiving of mistakes, after all. it also gives you better control over shading – something I struggle with a little in inks.
The style is very much old school fantasy, but I couldn’t resist throwing in an Easter Egg for those of you that love Ancient Greece.
Can you spot it?
Perseverance is not a long race; it is many short races one after the other.

I had an old friend visit at the weekend. It was one of those catch-ups that I look forward to, as many of my friends are not local (this particular one lives in China) and so we rarely meet up.
That’s life. We’re all busy, but it does make catch-ups with friends all the more special.
We chatted about all sorts of things, and inevitably we ended up talking about art. He’s an “old school” role-player like myself, so I’m always hungry for feedback on my latest project from a fellow geek (‘Dragon’s Lair’ below).
