Avenall, Fairy Prince

Avenall is a fictional character created by Michele Hauf in her novel, "Gossamyr". He is a fairy prince exiled from faery. Read the novel to learn more about this character.

Phase 1

I found an old sketch I set aside, which I never got around to rendering. This drawing was inspired by a character in Michelle Hauf's book "Gossamyr".

Phase 2

Outlined in ink!

Phase 3

Shaded-in the gargoyle.

Phase 4

Shaded-in torso, head, hair

Blocked in smoke except parts that overlap the halo around the head, where they are just Shaded-in. This gives the illustion that the halo glows.

I'm not too happy with how the face turned out. I'll have to change parts of it as I go along.

Phase 5

His right shoulder was disproportionate (smaller compared to the left one) so I bulked it up by covering the wrong lines with white ink & then inking over with the right lines.

Shaded-in wings & jeans.

Added shadow around the eyes & cheeks. Also darkened the lips. Did not turn out well. I'll have to lighten some areas next.

Phase 6

Lightened areas around the eyes, cheeks & mouth again by covering some lines with white ink. Now I've got the face I wanted.

Added outline for the background.

Phase 7

Shaded-in the background.

Finished.
