Record of Lodoss War Illustration 3

Continuing from last time👇

1. Parn base body

In the first place, Parn is behind Deedlit so he's about half hidden, but I'll draw the whole thing for now🖋
And even though his body will be mostly hidden by his armor and cloak, I'll draw the base body.

If I don't, it might look off later.

2. Parn rough sketch

The armor is one thing, but the sword is so detailed it's a pain.
Plus, the design is slightly different depending on the scene.
Isn't this kind of thing decided in the settings?❓

3. Rough sketch complete

4. In-progress pen work

This time, I want to finish it with a pen-focused style that matches the atmosphere of Record of Lodoss War, so the inking will be the final finish.
I'm adding details as I go, so it's taking time, but this is actually quite a fun process😊

The trick to pen drawing, which might be surprising, is not to draw lines too firmly.
If you draw to "show with surfaces" rather than lines, it won't look cheap.

If you draw in detail where you want to guide the viewer's gaze and skip the details elsewhere, it will look authentic.
