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!".
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 3rd entry, I have attempted the option "Floki!"
(referring to the picture shown in the link above)
For this entry, I felt that black and white would suit the image hence I left the drawing in black and white.
Hope it came out okay.
I might color it in at a later stage, but for the 3rd entry I will be using this pencil drawing.
Here is an animated gif of the pencil drawing process
Here are some progress pictures
To start off, I began a rough sketch in pencil.
If there a character and a background, I prefer drawing the character first and then the background.
And then some fine tuning
Adding more detail to the background
Adding more detail to the clothing
more fine tuning
And this is it:

Amazing as always @apprentice001! Had to look to find out where you had hidden the tags this time. :) Didn't see them straight away! :)
Thanks for the kind words, my friend. Now it has become interesting to incorporate the tags in the drawing, it now adds to the fun of drawing. Have a great day!
