Azura in battle against a city guard atop the battlements of a fortress- Excuse the pessimism, but I think I'm backing on beast for this one.
 Hoorah! It's finally finished! My first foray into the world of A3 drawing. When I came up with the idea for this one, I found that with an A4 piece of paper, I simply had no room for all the detail I wanted on it. Hence I moved up and bought an A3 drawing pad. I liked being able to draw at a more advanced scale, but boy, this took FOREVER. I started with a new set of graphite pencils and most of them are worn down about a centimetre and a half from all the times I had to sharpen them again. Anyhow, I'm very pleased with this and with the exception of the background, it was awesome fun to draw (Grrr, I hate backgrounds). I had backed on there being an A3 scanner somewhere I could use once I was done with this, but the one at the library did a terrible job. This was taken with my trusty D-SLR. Usually camera shots of drawings turn out pretty bad, but I guess I underestimate the power of my awesome Pentax.  One problem I encountered with this one was the dilemma on whether to bloody Azura's swords or not. Perhaps I'm a sadist, but I think blood looks cool on a drawing like this. To make sure I was doing it right, I got some Ribena syrup (to emulate blood) and poured it on a dive-knife- It didn't stick at all. In the end, I decided what the hell, go for it and it came to this, which I'm happy with, despite the possible realism flaw. Another something useful I found out doing this was how I did the sky. Dreading the task of shading all that blank space, only to fill it up with messy, sketchy lines, I used a different approach. I took a cotton make-up-remover pad thing from my sister's make-up drawer and then sharpened my 8B pencil onto it and ground it into the cotton. The result- a nice way to evenly apply a uniform shade to a large area.  Well, seems this description has already gotten TL;DR, so I'll leave it at that. Time taken: A long long time Tools: Graphite pencils (2H-8B), cotton buds, putty eraser, normal eraser, cotton make-up pad. Comments
 Either that rat has been kicking some major ass up there or there's been a tomato spill up there

-- I have learning disabilities. <Hork-Bajir, come on out,> I said firmly. Slowly the big creature crawled out. He stood erect, blinking in the dim evening light. "Not Hork-Bajir," he said. "Jara Hamee. My name. Jara Hamee."  -- Brought to you by the Idiot Inquisition "What can we say, we just fucking hate them" DA says this would-be critic isn't rich enough to be allowed to write proper critique... but I do it anyway.  You will definitely be drawing photorealistic pictures if this is where you are at right now. Fantastic work.
