I really love what you did! It looks amazing! *__* What kind of pencils and paper did you use?

firebird_88 September 30 2011, 04:10:56 UTC

Thank you! :)

Er, just a random sketchbook and mechanical pencil (0.5 mm HB and 2H lead). :) I'm lazy, haha.

mizuki_music September 30 2011, 04:15:59 UTC

Ah haha, cool!

firebird_88 September 30 2011, 04:20:41 UTC

The sketchbook paper was actually starting to rip because I tend to press rather hard with the pencils and because I kept messing up / erasing the hair. :( I'd recommend a thicker, higher quality paper before trying a realistic drawing. I had apparently forgotten that important note of information. xD

WOAH. Holy Shading Batman that is beautiful!

^^; Thank you so much! I struggled a bit with how to shade the hair, it's so easy to overdue it and make it darker than blonde hair should be. D:

It really looks like Lee Pace, too

firebird_88 September 30 2011, 04:32:53 UTC

Thank you! I was really worried that since his hair was based off Legolas's that he would just look like... a failed Legolas drawing. I'm glad you could tell who he was immediately. :)

SO PRETTY!!!! ♥♥♥ (And yeah, I have nothing further constructive to say because this is just awesome. O.O)

firebird_88 September 30 2011, 04:38:38 UTC

LOL Oh you. <3 Thanks, dear. :)

nurissa September 30 2011, 04:42:11 UTC

You're welcome! ♥

I should work on my life drawing too. I tried about a month ago and wasn't entirely pleased with my attempt, but it wasn't too bad I suppose, since I've been drawing anime style for years. Time to practice! ^_^

firebird_88 September 30 2011, 04:44:07 UTC

That's exactly why I wanted to try this drawing, because I've drawn in the anime style for too long and I needed to prove to myself that I could still draw the old-fashioned, realistic way. xD

YOU CAN DO IT! :) Be sure to show us when you're done!

This is really great! I love the design. ♥

firebird_88 September 30 2011, 12:54:51 UTC

Thank you! I really struggled with it, I wasn't sure I could do the movie-esque Elvish designs justice by just making one up. I'm glad you like it. :)
