| Post subject: | A Few Old LOTR Drawings... |
Here are a few drawings I did a while back when I was in my LOTR phase. 1. "Princes of Middle-Earth"- I did this one before the wallpaper I posted with the same name; that was actually inspired by this. Not bad, I don't think- I did alright with getting likenesses of Orlando and Viggo, but they're not perfect. Full Drawing:
Closeup of Legolas:
Closeup of Aragorn:
2. "King Elessar"- This is the one I'm most proud of. I think I did a great job with getting a likeness of Viggo. The part that took the longest was the Gondor banner behind him- I tried to make it as detailed as possible, and I think I did pretty well, considering .
3. Legolas and Aragorn in ROTK- For some reason, I had the hardest time doing these. Legolas looks more like Haldir, and Aragorn is a little off, at least in terms of a good likeness. Still, not bad. Legolas:
Aragorn:
Let me know what you think !

Those are good! They're a lot better than I could do anyway. Nice job! |

Those are WONDERFUL! I love the originality of it --- some of based off of pictures, but you made it your own. It's wonderful! Excellent, excellent work. I could only wish to be as good as you. |

wow, thats awesome! much better than I could do any day, I like that last Argorn one the best...he looks so...ranger-ish. and Legolas is really good to. great job! (how did you get Aragorn's cloak to look like that? that and his sword..they both look awesome!) |

Most of the artists on the forum never colorize, but you took the time and I must say they look fabulous!! I really like the aragorn ones, they look very realistic and the detail is amazing!!!! 8) |

Anie Surion- Thanks for the compliment, I'm glad you like them ! It's nice to meet you !
Kitoky- Awww, thanks . I did try to make it my own. It actually started with that one with Aragorn in front of the banner. I imagined it as sort of a portrait, and went from there. When I saw how well that turned out, I figured I'd try to do that with the rest.
Quote: I could only wish to be as good as you. Oh, I'll bet you're better at drawing than you think ! Kelenloth- Thanks ! As for Aragorn's cloak in that last one, if you mean the color, all I did was mix a couple of dark to medium dark green colored pencils (that's the media I used to color all these) in two or three layers. If you mean the ragged appearance, though, some of it was the paper I used, and some was just putting too much pressure on the paper to mix the colors (I think I used either a tissue or cotton q-tips to do that, I don't remember). For the sword, I either used the pencil I drew with or a silver colored pencil to color it (maybe a combination of both, I can't recall), nothing too special . I'm glad to meet you !Riniel Anariel- Thanks ! I'm funny that way- I hardly ever not color a drawing I've done. Part of that is I just prefer to do things like this in color, and part of it is I've never quite gotten the hang of black-and-white shading, which, in some ways, is a bit easier than using color (e.g. it's easier to see shade changes in plain pencil than it is in colored pencil, or any other colored media, for that matter).Quote: I really like the aragorn ones, they look very realistic and the detail is amazing!!!! Thank you ! Even though I expressed criticism of how the last two turned out (this one and the one of Legolas), I think I was amazed at how well I'd done when I first finished them. I felt that way about the second one the most (and still do, as I said in my original post), but I really did a pretty good job on these two as well .
