A new Sketch-a-Wish voted on by my wonderful Patreons for December! Featuring Nathaniel and Elisabeth (and a bonus Silas!) in a tender, snowy scene from Sorcery of Thorns by @marrogerson!

Ahhhh! I’m so excited to finally share this piece! ✨ The latest in the LitJoy Crate add-on collaboration - a booksleeve featuring Elisabeth, Nathaniel and Silas from #SorceryOfThorns by @marrogerson!

This was such an epic scene in the book, and so chaotic! Flying books, rips in space, magic whips and fancy swords! I normally don’t put a lot of attention into environments (I prefer to focus on people and expressions), but in this case, when an environment has its own personality, it truly becomes enjoyable to dress!

I recently finished reading Sorcery of Thorns (by Margaret Rogerson, @marrogerson) and it just wouldn’t leave me alone until I tried to draw some fanart too. It’s a particular scene from the book when Nathaniel and Elisabeth are attacked by imps (if that’s the name in english, I read the book in czech) in Brassbridge. For some reason I’ve thought it was a good idea although I’m bad at drawing dramatic scenes or magic or light, not mentioning background. Or clothes. (yes I tried to stick with fashion for the claimed in the book, but… me and cdrawing clothes, we’re not friends… *shrugs*) Ahem. And it looks stupid and as if Nathaniel was just standing there, but it was said there when he started casting the spell, he closed his eyes and just looked calm and concentrated but it probably just turned out looking silly next to tenacius looking Elisabeth. Well… I tried, really. Despite all flaws though I think it somehow is still much better than the dull looking portrait of Scarlet Benoit (Scarlet).
(Coloured with Derwent Inktense.

Matching picture to the previous drawing of Elisabeth, aka what (or rather who :) ) was Elisabeth looking at at the moment :). (From Sorcery of Thorns by @marrogerson)
Although the sketch looked rather good, it went kinda worse when lots of things kinda got lost with colouring while some other didn’t gain anything with colouring (like the table or his clothes). I mean generally it looks better than lots of other portrait kind of fanarts because it has even a background (though I went easy way with the books now unlike the drawing of Elisabeth, but they’re further away in the background here so I think it makes sense and doesn’t look sloppy.), but it could have been much better if I managed to colour the sketch properly. *sigh*
Here is the ref picture I used: Character pose by@jookpubstock(well at least I started with it, of course it turned out rather different as usual lol).
And drawn with Derwent Inktense again.
