Fandom: Merlin (BBC)
Content Notes: Created for Challenge #66: 10 Year Redraw. This is a redraw of Gwen from Merlin (BBC), which I'd originally done for the [livejournal.com profile] drawmelot Zodiac Challenge on LJ, about 13 years ago.

The original drawing was done with pen and watercolour pencils. Although I was happy with the overall concept and details of the piece, at that time I wasn't able to capture Gwen's specific likeness, and have always wanted to take another shot at it.

The redraw is a quick digital sketch done on Adobe Fresco. I found the original photo reference, and worked from that to try to get Gwen's features right. I'm still learning how to blend with the digital watercolour brush, and the shading on her face needs more work. But in terms of the sketch itself, I can definitely see an improvement in my portrait drawing skills. Although not a perfect likeness, she's waaay more recognisable now, so I'm satisfied with the overall result. :)
