#olur

I was tagged by @sylvienerevarine and @skyrim-forever, and Eve's lovely beadwork inspired me to post my current traditional media project. I actually have a degree in studio art, but it's been over a decade since I last picked up a pencil/paintbrush, so I'm slowly getting back into the groove of layout, surface prep, etc. Also some of my supplies have basically decomposed over the years, so further progress is waiting until I can get my hands on more white transfer paper.

Here is the original sketch of Olur of Mor Khazgur from Aristeia:

I like to sketch on tracing paper - it's nice an smooth, and then I can iterate my drawings much more easily. When one drawing starts getting messy and there's too many marks and lines I don't like, just rip it off the pad, put it under the next sheet, and then I trace the lines I do like! It also makes it easy to experiment with different layouts and poses if I'm doing a more complex composition - just put each individual figure on a different sheet of tracing paper and move them around.

Steps completed so far under the cut!
