Fat friar. I need to draw hands and feet until my fingers are raw. Or until I can draw them decently, whichever comes first.

Guardsmouse Mikel, performing a Zornhau. I have a huge interest in German medieval swordsmanship. Johannes Liechtenauer was a swordmaster in the 1500′s who pretty much started the tradition, or at least wrote most of it down in code. The Zornhau is the “strike of wrath”. If you are holding your sword in the “Vom Tag” position, basically at your shoulder, the Zornhau is performed by taking a step forward with your leading foot as you swing the sword in a downward arc at your opponent. You’d block this blow with the “Ochs” position, and bind your opponent’s blade. …I also learned that mice are hard to draw like this, because their knees are ambiguously placed somewhere in fur. No worries. David Petersen’s Mouse Guard is still awesome. This is illustration 4 of 365 in my 365 Drawing Project. Thanks for reading.

Mouse Guard illustration. Day 2 of 365. December 31st, 2011. This is Guardmouse Olaf. My obsession continues. Done on the inside cover of my new Moleskines, which arrived yesterday thanks to a wonderful Christmas gift of an Amazon gift card.
The paper on the new Moleskine sketchbooks is thinner than the one I purchased about two years ago, which makes me sad. I’m hoping it will still hold up to what I have planned. I want to try some urban sketching with light ink washes. I was counting on the thicker paper to hold up better to the watercolors/inks.

Progress. I’m working on a map of my own Mouse Territories for a possible Mouse Guard RPG game sometime. The full map measures 11x14 on Bristol paper, stained with coffee. Water is done in watercolor pencils.
