"The Heist"

"The Heist"
Traditional drawing on Canson XL 90g Sketch paper
Original on A3 format.

I started over about four times on this. I was too rigid with following the perspective guides and everything looked stiff, so in the fourth attempt, I cut loose. With different colored pencils I quickly sketched the rat, the goblin and the background. Then I went to work with an H, HB, B and a 2B. The background didn't quite get off the ground, lol.

Early idea. I was going for a rabbit, but then I read in the DnD Monster Manual that goblins have an affinity for rats and wolves, although, they don't use rats as mounts.
