Dayly practice - Solaire

So, here's today's practice : Solaire of Astora from the Dark Souls games. Again, way over a hour. But I'm not as satisfied this time, they are a lot of details i didn't felt like improving (sword, hands, background...). I may finish it later this week though. We'll see.

Here's my friend result : metachris.deviantart.com/art/S…

You can suggest a theme in the comment if you want, we'll try to give it a shot!

Learning process : Iterative Drawing
1 - We first draw the character from memory (can look at the reference picture beforehand, but can't look at it again until it's finished).
2 - Then we look at the reference to correct and add missing details. It helps to see why certain lines matter, and makes it easier to understand which lines to draw in future iterations.
3 - (Not done here) Finally, draw it again without a reference. It should be way better than step 1 already.
