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.

Closeup of Aragorn: Image


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.

Let me know what you think :blush:!

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 :happy:!

Kitoky- Awww, thanks :blush:. 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.

Oh, I'll bet you're better at drawing than you think ;)!

Kelenloth- Thanks :-D! 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 :happy:!

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).

Thank you :blush:! 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 :-D.
