Game Of Thrones – Practice Dummy

Game Of Thrones – Practice Dummy

Finally got back to working on my series of Game of Thrones pen and ink sketches. I’m still getting my pace back after a couple of months.

So let’s start with a picture of Sandor Clegane practicing his tilting on a practice dummy in a manner that may or may not be a way of intimidating the Starks.

The biggest challenge I had with this piece (beyond my inability to draw horses) was figuring out Sandor’s helmet. I find the one from the show too bulky and clunky to be practical and I couldn’t find any real animal shaped helmets from the period. I ended up trying to wing it as best I could, making it more hound like rather the snarling wolf from the show.

Game of Thrones is the Property of George R. R. Martin.

Ned watched Sandor Clean gallop across the hard packed ground to drive an iron-tipped lance through a dummy’s head. Canvas ripped and straw exploded as Lannister guardsmen joked and cursed. “
