I'm impressed Where are your Thorin drawings, if I may ask? I'm curious to see how repetition of him has improved things

Thank you so much! Some of my artwork I've posted on here but some of it I haven't gotten around to post yet! Here's one of my drawings of Thorin that I sent to Richard Armitage: http://newboards.theonering.net/forum/gforum/perl/gforum.cgi?post=732376;sb=post_time;so=DESC;forum_view=forum_view_collapsed;;page=unread#unread I also do a bit of digital paintings, and you can find some of those here: http://newboards.theonering.net/forum/gforum/perl/gforum.cgi?post=788379;#788379

You are indeed VERY talented! I can sketch, and have done two sketches of Legolas back from my LOTR days, but am not that good (possibly because I'm not that patient lol ). I haven't even had an art class since I was ten (elementary school). I don't remember if I posted them on here a while back, but I think I did. Have you heard from RA how he liked your drawing? May I ask? How do you do digital art? I've seen some wonderful digital art on deviantart as well (Aigelief is one of the best artists I've seen on there- her likeness to the characters is uncanny, and you are definitely in her category!) And Brilcrist is another good digital artist. In fact, he did a comic strip style one of the near-drowning scene from the book (where Fili and Kili went after a pony that randomly bolted into the Brandywine river) that was very well done, IMO. I've been curious how digital art is done, especially since it looks so real! I tend to lean more toward painting (landscapes and plants, especially flowers and mountains and rivers and trees) and watercolor, sculpture, pastels, ceramics, sketches (pencil), and crafting (basically 3D art, like sewing, cake decorating, leather work, weaving, wood carving, beads, soapmaking, etc). But I've never managed to learn or even know how to do digital art.

But I've never managed to learn or even know how to do digital art. Thank you, you are very kind! That's nice! I've not done Legolas yet. . .may do him sometime too! I've never had any art classes so I'm always very critical and judgemental of my own work. Wish it were better, but thank you. Well I did hear back from Richard sort of. . .he just signed and sent back a few other things I included, but as for the drawing he didn't say anything. I hope he liked it! For my digital art, I use a program called Krita wish is really easy to use and it's a free download. Pretty much what I do, if I see a picture I want to give a go at, I just study it - the lighting, the shadows, details, etc. and just look at that as a reference. OH yes, both of them are amazing! I've seen some of their work - absolutely incredible! I hope to be that good someday! I thought your signature had looked familiar!

Anyone who does a drawing of my favorite female elf automatically deserves some praise! Any plans to do color? Here is a thumbnail of a trois crayon Tauriel, done with only 3 pastels.
Don't mess with my favorite female elf.

I've done some recently in color, not Tauriel exactly but some other Hobbit drawings. Haven't put them up yet though. I've seen your Tauriel before, it's really great! Love it! You did a good job!

I usually have to draw someone a dozen times before I get the face structure right. "cheating" a bit in your roughs by doodling a layer on photoshop or using tracing paper (or stick the photo behind a piece of glass, like a random window) will teach you the real structure of the face... trace your circles and basic shapes over the photo to see how the face is structured and what the proportions are... like this http://swordwhale3.tumblr.com/post/50024744244/doodling-101-basic-foundation-scribble-look-for or this http://swordwhale3.tumblr.com/post/50026821098/swordwhale-some-basic-shapes-for-building-faces It's only to nail the actual proportions, then you sit down with your paper or canvas and actually draw.
Na 'Aear, na 'Aear! Mýl 'lain nallol, I sûl ribiel a i falf 'loss reviol... To the sea, to the sea, the white gulls are crying, the wind is blowing and the white foam is flying...
