Start by drawing a large circle for the Eyrie's mane. Next, inside the circle you just made, draw another, smaller circle for his head. Then, begin to sketch in the basic shapes of his wings, arms and legs, hands, and his left foot (which is on your right side).
|
|
It's now time to begin drawing the Eyrie Guard's face, which is covered by a fearsome mask. Add two narrow triangles to the top of the Eyrie's head for his ears, and then draw his pointed cheeks and beak. Finally, make the eyeholes of his mask.
|
|
|
Next, give extra detail to the Guard's mask to make him even more intimidating. Add the small airholes to the beak of his mask, and make the eyeholes into two narrow slits. Include a small shield-like shape on his forehead, and draw an armoured pattern on his ears.
|
|
Erase any extra lines you might have on your drawing. Then, give the Eyrie Guard a furry mane.
|
|
|
Starting at the bottom of the Eyrie's mane, make a pair of curved lines for his body.
|
|
Now, draw the Eyrie's gloved and armoured hands. His left hand (on your right) is clenched into a fist, while his right hand (on the left) is pressed against the ground. Also, be sure to fill in the Eyrie's arms as well.
|
|
|
Next, it's time to draw the Eyrie Guard's legs. Since he's crouched down, his legs are folded beneath him. Make his heavy boots, being sure to include the armour-like pieces over his knees. Finally, fill in the Eyrie's thighs as needed.
|
|
Erase your leftover lines, and then add some feathery texture to the Eyrie's wings.
|
|
|
Now, begin drawing the large mace that the Eyrie is holding in his left hand (the one on your right). Make its long handle and the large sphere on top of it.
|
|
Next, add the pointed spikes to the head of the Guard's mace by making small cone shapes all over it.
|
|
|
Include some detail on the mace's handle by adding a few metal bands to its top and bottom.
|
|
Erase your extra lines, and then add some finishing touches to the mace's handle.
|
|
|
Next, draw a few splatters of liquid on the top of the mace. It looks as though the Eyrie Guard has seen a bit of battle recently!
|
|
Now, add a few more tiny details to your drawing. At this point, it should look like this.
|
|
|
Give your picture some colour using anything you'd like, from markers to a computer program!
|
|
Finally, add plenty of shading to your drawing to make it very dramatic. There you have it… your very own portrait of the Eyrie Guard!
