Description
WHERE NOSTALGIA AND DRAWING PRACTICE MEET.

I feel like I’m falling into a rut of not pushing myself in my art, so I thought I would combine my inevitable re-read of the first Wheel of Time book. The plan is to draw something, anything -a landscape, a character or scene, an object- from each chapter. If I’m not familiar with it or it’s too ambitious I’ll research it and at least attempt something, even if it’s just studies.

So here we start with the Prologue, a chapter that I think gathers extra poignancy the more you know about the characters.

Lews Therin Telamon, aka Kinslayer, aka The Dragon, the man who tried to save the world and broke it instead. He’s a character from the era before these books are set, and is notable for sealing the Dark One away in his prison at the end of the last age. In doing so he also doomed any man who can use magic to insanity, himself included.

Some studies up top, including a younger take, and a scene from this chapter in which he contemplates his appearance in a mirror whilst simultaneous being obliviously mad.

I re-drew his eyes in that last pic so many times I just gave up… *cries
