Description I started this piece about two weeks ago and finally got around to finishing it.

I've been trying to draw things that are a bit more challenging for me and out of my comfort zone.  

I saw this pic: huangstudio.com/wp-content/upl… , and I knew I just had to draw it. 

I definitely didn't capture the reference picture's scope of realism, but I feel as though I was able to play on the illustrative aspects of the piece.  

My drawing is certainly a simplification of the reference image. That being said, I'm relatively content with how the shading on the fabrics turned out and with some of the other minor details of the piece.

~ 3 1/2 hours, mechanical pencil on 5.5 x 8.5 inch Toned Gray Strathmore paper

Edited with Pixlr Express -- I was trying to go for a rustic look -- like something out of a treasure map or old document.  

All credit goes to the creators of WoW for the original design.

Maybe it's not so realistic, but I think you capture something more. You brought soul to this piece. I really like your work!

Wow, thanks so much! Your words just made my day! I try to add some of my own features (whether it be shading, little details here and there, etc...) to a piece, even if I'm looking at a reference -- I think almost every artist inadvertently adds his or her style to an image based on a ref.  

Thanks again

haha your welcome! I'm glad I made you happy! and I totally agree with you! and I think it's better if you add something yours. Everyone has their own style, why not to show it?! Keep up the good work!
