"al´Lan Mandragoran" by Brett Anderson

Let's see...A good picture, but his eyes really are too big, and I think by now people know that. I don't think he looks "hard" enough. He looks to soft. I don't know if his nose length is right, but it might be that the eyes are stressing the size of everything else too much. I don't know

As for the <I>hadori</I> I never heard anything 'bout him wearing it until I finished the 8th book and read "New Spring".. so i don't think he wore it all the time. I thought of him having a squarer jaw, I think. Kind of like Arnold Swarz-a-whatever.

I think Lan looks more like Arnold in a Conan movie. Lan always wears a headband. It's a nice picture but it's not Lan...Lan has more like a stoneface, smaller eyes and his nose is not as pretty as in this picture. But don't give up the good work!

I always pictured al'Lan as the big guy on the cover of "Eye of the World", only without the helmet, long slightly graying hair, and the hadori.

I think he looks like a women in that picture. Kinda like Birgitte with a sword.

Just a reply to Zarine's comment about the hadori....
Read the descriptions of Lan in the first book more carefully, and you will find that it does indeed state that Lan wears a hadori.

You are extremely good at drawing but i agree that you should make the eyes a little smaller but over all pretty good.

Not bad, the eye thing of course, but the biggest problem is proportions. I'm a professional artist and there are some easy tricks to making a fast layout for your illustration. Find a picture of a man with about the right facial structure to begin with. Put your paper over the picture and use a light table or tape to a window. You should be able to "see" the underlying image so that you can copy the proportions. Not the whole image, you just want to have the right shape and size of the head to get started and then begin to embelish. Most important are to "rough out" the size of eyes, nose, mouth, ears, chin and hairline. After that, it's all up to you to add character. Good luck.

Okay...... sorry to be rude, but that really is not good! I can draw better than that! But I suppose it is alright, after all, I have seen worse!
