Splinterlands Art Contest Week 314; Drybone Barbarian

I wanted to make today's sketch the traditional way (that's with my 10B Bianyo). Those who have been keeping up with me know that's my favorite brand as for graphite. Coincidentally, that's what my brother Timothy uses too.

My week left me with very little time and as such I couldn't make a digital piece. This morning though I summoned the courage to draw something after doing my chores. I went through dozens of references and card characters before choosing to draw the Drybone Barbarian.

The young lady who I used as a reference actually had her thumb in her mouth and I intended using that and adding some dripping blood but I changed my mind later on seeing that I wasn't getting the proportion right. Hands are just weird to draw. I am working on it though and trying to become better in that aspect.
