Jorah doesn’t look like Jorah at all but Jeor’s there and Lyanna’s there so I went ahead and decided to make the sketch of the third person a fictional, younger version of Jorah Mormont.

Just as the title says; sketches done for the classes on figure drawing and animal drawing that I’m taking. It’s interesting to learn armature; I didn’t realize just how much easier it would make understanding form.
