Step 1

As always starting simply drawing some lines to get the right posture of with a sketch of the the character, then drawing the figure (used a mechanical pencil 0.5) after that i started working with the outfit i decided to do the main outfit he has when is in his servant forme when is in the battle field. Firstly i started drawing the bottom part of the outfit the part of the skirt then the armor. After that i worked with the upper part and did draw the the collar neck and then the harness decorationon the chest and then i did draw the tights.

Step 2

After that i worked with the cloak and the feather around the neck to jump and draw the hair which i did a small mistake but i did fix it during the coloring process.I did change the hand position since i didn't like the first sketch. When i worked with the face first thing i did draw was the eye's and then the mouth. I worked with last details of the outfit like the decorative parts of it and worked with the boots.

Step 3

Lining up with a black pen 0.3 all the figure and then with the 0.7 black pen i started coloring the black area's of the outfit and the ribbons in the hair. As a first layer of the hair color i used a light pencil pink color and started blending going over with a darker pink for the shading.

Step 4

It was here when i started fixing the mistake i did with the hair cz i didn't realized before when was a pencil drawing but after was lined up but i used a white corrector to cover it and i went over with the red marker. For the inner part i used two red markers one lighter and the other one was red into a brown for the shadings while for the upper part i used a white marker and i used a grey marker for the shadings.For the harness i used the dark red brown marker and for the white part i used the white corrector, for the details as decorations of the outfit and the bottom part of the skirt strap i used the gold color pencil same color i used for the sword and the part of the boots.

Step 5 (final look)

After finished completely with the outfit i did leave for last the part of the skin, i used a skin color pencil then i went over again pushing a bit the pencil to get a darker tone for the shadings, and then i used the pink color for the part of the tongue and did blend it with a brown color to get the right tone. For the eye's i used a light purple color and for the shadings a darker purple. So this is the final result.

Honestly i really enjoyed drawing Astolfo because is one of my favorite characters from the Fate series must say my favorite servant. I wish i had a servant like him :relieved: shhh he's still a boy you know :wink: jk jk i mean who wouldn't like him as a servant. Well this is all about the artwork and why i loved and enjoyed drawing him. As per now i enjoyed it a lot our collab and it was a beautiful one for me.
