This is the handout for the class on 14th century figure drawing which I taught at Known World Heraldic and Scribal Symposium. For the people who I promised copies of this (at the time, unfinished) document, I apologise. I’ve had some unfortunate Life issues which have kept me from finishing and sending this out. I will send them out… but in the meantime, I’m putting this here so it’s available to the masses.
Artwork for the Cover of the Compleat Anachronist, based on “Death of John the Baptist”, from the ninth-century Chartres Gospel (Paris, Bibliotheque Nationale lat. 9386, fol. 146)
The ninth century isn’t usually my style, but in a pinch…
A little drawing done for an upcoming issue of the Compleat Anachronist. I was asked to draw a scene similar to a facsimile of the source material, but leaving out the actual sword-death parts. I executed this in ink on pergamenata, then scanned it and prepped it for publication.
