Hello Steemians
"Learn To Draw With Friends" Art Contest by @tonyr is back with a great initiative. This week the theme for the contest is "Vikings!". I was really glad that the contest is back again and hence decided to submit my first entry.
The link to the contest is shown below:

For those who are not familiar with it:
Essentially, tonyr provides 3 pictures in the contest link (along with the image credits). There are Amazing Art works on the contest, and you can either submit one of your drawings or vote on other participants' drawings. In addition to that there is a great initiative, so do try to join the contest and support @tonyr and his new initiative.
For the 1st entry, I have attempted the Beginner option "Vicky The Viking!!!"
(referring to the picture shown in the link above)
I experimented with some colour pencils again and below is my attempt.
Hope it came out okay.
Look at the stars in a bit more detail and you will see some letters.
Can you figure out what the word is?
Here is an animated gif of the drawing process
Here are some main progress pictures
To start off, I began a rough sketch in pencil.
And then some fine tuning
Then the experiment with colour pencils began...
And here I am using lines to color in the drawing, also known as "Crosshatching".
I prefer using lines to color in and then use a bit of shading later.
And this is it:
