Game of Thrones character's line drawings nearly finished!

I'm really getting my head down and trying to finish up these lines drawings now, there should be no reason why I don't finish them within the next week:

Viserys Targaryen with Daenerys Targaryen
John Snow
Myrcella Baratheon
Robb Stark
Tommen Baratheon
I still need to finish some hands though, as I've made no progress on that since last week/ So, the only characters I need to do now are Tywin Lannister (started), Jaime Lannister and Tyrion Lannister. I thought I'd leave the interesting ones until last; those of you who have watched the series will know what I mean.

Again, I've had a pretty quiet week, went to a friend's house last night and spent most of the night playing Cards Against Humanity. Oh, I won on the Grand National too, a £2,50 each-way bet yielded £161.25! Whoop!

I've been listening to loads of podcasts recently too, as I've mentioned before I listen to the Creative Pep Talk by Andy J Miller, you can find his website here: www.andy-j-miller.com, I've also listened to a few Pencil vs Pixel podcasts, and Andy J Miller has also recommended The Graphic Sound, although I've yet to listen to it. I've nearly caught up on the back catalogue of the Creative Pep Talk.

Someone else I also like watching is the Youtube channel RossDraws. Ross is fresh out of school in America and his skill is really good, though I like watching him as he's so dynamic and has so much energy! You should definitely check him out, I don't know all of the characters he draws, but he draws some pretty famous characters too. I love Color Dodge time too, I hadn't really made use of this tool in Photoshop before watching his video, and now I'm in a love with it... except I've made more of a move now to traditional art than digital art! I wish there was a color dodge pen I could use on paper.

One last thing I've become interested in is Serif Affinity, which is like a very affordable version of Photoshop. I've signed up to the beta test for Windows when it's released, as currently it's a mac-only program.

Anyway, that's enough rambling for one week, I think I did pretty good considering my week was boring! Here's my Pinterest of the Week: https://uk.pinterest.com/pin/314548355205683086/ I absolutely love bunnies, but what interested me more was the hatching of the pencil the artist has used. Aside from a few whiskery hairs the pencil stroke is all in one direction. And it's so cute!
