One of the art requests that I got for my holiday giveaway is a painting of Jon Snow from Game of Thrones. Although he is not my favorite character from the series/books (Hello Arya and Tyrion), I do believe in this (Just to be on the safe side, do NOT click the link if you don't want spoilers! Sort of.)
Since I don't want to focus on Jon Snow's perma sad face, I chose this particular image as my reference. This is my thumbnail sketch:
And this is my loose sketch using my humble watercolor pad:
Although I found it harder to manipulate the paint on my old watercolor pad, it allowed me to be more spontaneous. I need to be more comfortable using better (and pricey!) paper because I feel kinda uptight whenever I use Arches. Hahaha.
Anyway, I still need to do a couple of practice sketches first before starting with the real painting. I'm starting to think that I really know nothing about painting Jon Snow. Yikes!
