This is a sketch of Morozko and Vasya from Katherine Arden's amazing Winternight trilogy.
I devoured all three books earlier this month and am now completely in love with Morozko!
I worked on this piece for 7 hours, using charcoal pencils and graphite pencils (5B, 3B, 2B, B, H).
I
did find an image to use as a rough basis for their poses, but mostly I
had to make up hair, clothing etc. This took me out of my comfort zone,
as I generally copy exactly from an existing image. Therefore it was
good practice for me to branch out and try something different, and
overall I am 65% happy with this artwork. It's not perfect and the
detailed shading isn't there, but it captures the characters, I think.
