I’m working
on a drawing of a Viking warrior, or at least the fantasy equivalent of a Viking. My inspiration for drawing a Viking was my
recent reading of the Brotherband Chronicles, a trilogy of young reader novels
by John Flanagan that is also a companion set to the popular Ranger’s
Apprentice series. I really enjoyed the Ranger’s Apprentice series, but I admit
to being hesitant to reading about the Skandians, Flanagan’s equivalent of the
Vikings of lore. The Brotherband is a
group of young warriors who all have a quality that makes them atypical of the
common young Viking. Led by Hal, an
amazing inventor who is an outcast because he is only half-Skandian, the group
has amazing adventures that are fun to read.
I still like the main series better, but this is a nice spin-off and I
hope there’s more of the Brotherband in the future.
As I said
above, I am working on the Viking drawing. It’s still just pencil, and it has a
long way to go. But I’m having fun with
it, and I’ll post another scan here when it’s done!
