In this clip, we are going to be drawing the arms on our knight and what we are going to do is we are going to give him, for the most part, we're going to give him sort of a chain mail under arm thing. And by doing that it is really not that difficult to do, we just kind of come in here and start to draw the outline for it and what we're going to do is actually I'm going to end up not drawing much of this arm on the right hand here because I am going to put a big shield in there later. So we are going to save room there but we're going to come over here and we're going to draw the outline for this arm. What it will end up being is he will end up resting his hand on a shield, I'm sorry not a shield, on his sword. So what I did is just drew is kind of the outline for it and we are going to come back over it in a second but what we'll do to start is we are going to give him, he will definitely have armor covering this portion of his body. So we're going to start to draw an outline for a bit of a forearm protector and this part you don't have to be quite as worried about getting it perfectly neat looking because this is really the part of his armor that would really be banged up, which is why I really like to sketch that in a bit just to make it look like it has been banged up a bit. So don't worry too much about being neat there. Then the way we are going to draw the chain mail is to draw, first his finger definition here and get his arm out like that see. And the way we are going to come in and we're going to draw the chain mail in a sort of a different way. First I guess let's give this guy some gloves and then the armor on his hand because it is going to be kind of unique. It will be things like that. He has got solid gloves on definitely but his actual sleeves here I will break out my thicker pen and I'm just going to kind of go through like this. Only do it in one direction. If you are going to do this just go up and down like that and pick a direction because what you are going to do in a second is, you are going to come across it the opposite way to create a sort of a chain mail effect coming there just like that. See you have got the chain mail there. Pull it out. And see we have got a good start to an arm going on and what I'm going to do actually right now is to complete this little thing is, I'm going to come in here and I'm going to draw the handle for what will be or is going to be right now, I'm going to draw his sword. This guy is a foot soldier so he's not going to have like one of those fatty long swords, his sword is going to be very conventional so it will be long enough to do some damage though. Why not? Let's make it so it has a generously sized blade just like that. That's a big battle ax of a sword now that I've actually looking at it. See come in here and draw the tip there and another line running down. That thing would kill you good. His armor is going to be resting on it there and so now we have got his arm and we'll move on to do the rest of his body.
