Guinevere was the wife of King Arthur, and thus Queen of Camelot.
Famously, she engaged in a love affair with her husband's foremost knight and trusted friend, Lancelot, indirectly causing the death of Arthur, many knights and the fall of Camelot.
It’s been a while since I’ve painted a woman, and I’ve not practiced them much recently, so I was hesitant to tackle sketching the female characters of the arthurian tales. I was expecting to suck at it terribly.
I’m happy with how this sketch of Guinevere turned out though - so happy in fact, that you can expect to see Morgan le Fay for tomorrow’s sketch!
I may come back to this one and polish it up. If I do, I’ll update this post with the final.
