Week 7 - #4

This is the third and final illustration I worked on this week. It depicts the final scene of the story in which the fairy queen sends two white deer to retrieve her love, Thomas Rhymer, back from the village. She requested that he return to the fairy land following a sign from her and this was it. For this drawing, I found it impossible to find a reference from a medieval illuminated manuscripts, so I simply used a reference of an image of two deer found on the internet. All of these sketches are done by free-hand, and I was happy I was able to do this because I have gone a long time without drawing by hand and I was glad I still had the skill.
