Mockingjay, page 302by ~Ratgirlstudios

Fan Art / Digital Art / Drawings / Books & Novels

I was recently commissioned to draw a scene from Mockingjay, on page 302 of the book. It was a fun challenge to finally draw the Mockingjay armor and I can only hope I did it justice.

In the fluorescent light, the circles under his eyes look like bruises. "There's still time. You should sleep." Unresisting, he lies back down, but just stares at the needle on one of the dials as it twitches from side to side. Slowly, as I would with a wounded animal, my hand stretches out and brushes a wave of hair from his forehead. He freezes at my touch, but doesn't recoil. So I continue to gently smooth back his hair. It's the first time I have voluntarily touched him since the last arena.

"You're still trying to protect me. Real or not real," he whispers.

"Real," I answer. It seems to require more explanation. "Because that's what you and I do. Protect each other." After a minute or so, he drifts off to sleep.
