This is another piece where the line art was finished last fall, but I only recently got along to coloring it.

As always, my first step was to do the pencil sketch. I wanted to do a pose that would involve managing proportions of two characters relative to each other, and my favorite targets at the time when I drew this were Tahno and Mako, so that was what ended up happening.

I don’t draw side views very often, so drawing Mako’s side profile was good practice for that, too.

Because side profiles are trickier for me, I did Mako’s side first and then filled in Tahno second. The outfits were a small mismatch, as Mako’s is from book 2 and Tahnos was his design from book 4–but it’s reasonable enough to think that Tahno had that outfit earlier.

Once the faces were finished, I switched to archival ink and erased the pencil.

With the line art complete, I proceeded to not touch this until winter of 2022.

When I finally got around to going back to this, I brought out my copic sketch set to fill it in. To help make the blacks easier to tell apart, I added a purple overtone to Tahno’s jacket and a blue tone to Tahno’s hair. The piece was then photographed and edited for color.
