Warrior

A skilled warrior on horseback was indispensable during the crusades. This is a quick sketch in my Moleskine book.

I think it's brilliant! The background texture really makes it. :)

I love art on Moleskine. I like how you make it look like a manuscript.

Thanks for you kind comments! I used gesso and acrylic on the lined Moleskine paper before I did the pen work. Then, I used sandpaper to get the aged look. I did a separate illustration of the celtic text and pasted it in.
