Medieval Doodles

Digital painting is fast and handy, but the feeling of drawing on a table just can't compare with the experience of drawing with physical media. I picked up a Sharpie and some of my wife's old Copics yesterday and went to town on some medieval stuff.

I haven't really used Copics like this before, so I was pleasantly surprised at how nicely they fit the way I work. The limited palette freed me up from worrying too much about color selection, and the translucent blending made it super easy to block in shading.

EDIT: Added some axes I worked up after my initial post.
