Description
This is a sketch made a few years ago. Sparrowhawk is a character from Ursula K. Le Guin's Earthsea cycle.I'm a very big fan of Le Guin's books, and I made many pictures for them, though, I usually was not satisfied by them... This one I finally liked
This year I plan to make more illustrations - for Ursula's anniversary. So I've decided to put this one here. I think I will put it to scraps later.
Pen on paper.

A very nice picture of Ged. The nose, scar, and sense of serenity are all described in the book.

Oh oh oh! I absolutely love this depiction. He looks so much like how I see him in the book. not in terms of physically, really (since no one will ever see things from books the same as me, I'm sure) but I think you really captured some of the really important aspects of him as a character... it's emotionally spot on!
And very well done, of course

Amazing work!
And it looks quite close to how I imagined Ged, too.^^

Fantastic ! I've always loved the Earthsea books, and this to me is just how Sparrowhawk (Ged) should look as an older man. I can imagine him talking to Kalessin.....Can't wait to see more

This is beautiful. These are one of the definitive fantasy stories for me. I saw the mini-series but it wasn't what I thought it would be. It was still cool, but not what I imagined

Horray!
I'm so glad to find out that her books are loved!
Yes, I've read "The Beginning Place" (actually, I've read almost all of her books with a very small exception 
My favorite books by her, I think, are "The Dispossessed" and "The Left Hand of Darkness" - and Earthsea cycle, of course, which stands a little apart. But I really love all of her books, I'm a very big fan of her

Me too. I distinctly remember that scene too. That is what I think of when I remember that book

Earthsea art - wow
And I love this image. It's not quite how I imagined him after reading the books - but it comes pretty close. His expression is just right, I think

You like Earthsea too?
Hurray!!

Great work! I also like Earthsea but I can't remember who Sparrhawk was - I read it quite a while ago, and translated, so the name could have been different

Thank you!
Earthsea cycle is one of my favorite

I love Ursula Le Guin's style.
When I think about it, I often like fantasy written by women - like Farseer or the Pern series
