The Lion in Winter #4

I had to play with the contrast and brightness quite a bit to make this sketch look more like it really looks on paper. The past ones look much brighter than they usually are.

I really like this sketch. I'm quite proud of the face (the proportions - not so much). I have always had a hard time drawing faces in 3/4 view. This one, though, is one of my more successful attempts!

Richard the Lionheart is Henry's second son. His older brother is dead and he is now heir apparent to the throne - at least in his and Eleanor's minds. He is described in the play as a rugged, manly, handsome soldier. He is strong and tough, overly masculine. he has had an overly close relationship with Eleanor in his youth. It is also implied that he is a homosexual by Philip.

Mmmmmhm...a ruggedly handsome gay prince. Who doesn't love that?
