Okay there was something really bothering me about that last Kvothe so I deleted him. This is the sketch reworked and NOW I will try again to color him in PhotoShop using another brush since I've learned a little bit more about the Wacom nibs. The Kvothe character is a flaming redhead and the redheads I know have very light lashes and brows so I've tried to show that, especially in his lashes. I also added the leaves to indicate more motion around him. Sarah, I appreciated your comments about the pain in his face and tried to put that in. Remember though, this is Kvothe in his youth.

Mm, I think I like the uncolored better as well. He looks more battle-hardened. It's very subtle, but I think it's because some of the contrast in his eyes and cheekbone was lost with the coloring? The lighter eyebrows also seem to give his face a different expression.
Thank you Lena. I usually prefer the monochromatic sketch over the colored version too although it could be the way I'm coloring it
;~} I appreciate your comments.
This is really incredible. I did a google search of Kvothe Images, because I am contemplating having a tattoo done of the variant cover of TNOTW, but was looking for a better picture. Yours is really well done, and I think you've captured the character brilliantly. His eyes are remarkable. You're very talented, and, with your permission, I'm considering using this for my tattoo :)
Hi Ryan, Thank you for your comments about Kvothe. You are more than welcome to use the image for your tattoo, if you so decide. Send me a picture if you go ahead with it, ok?
Thanks again.
This is absolutely awesome. The pencil/charcoal captures his mood. Kvothe was such a complex character, and I think you've captured him wonderfully. He looks desperate, yet confident. And the subtle hint of the wind in the air with the leaves is great, too.
Excellent work.
WoW! I really love your art work for Kvothe! I wish I was as good an artist as you! WOW! LOve them all!
