Hey all! :)
I hardly ever show my hand-drawn pieces here, but I thought I'd show one for a change. ;) It's Boromir and Faramir from LoTR. :) I'm really pleased with it - I used an HB pencil and it took about 5 hours of work to complete. I used a photo reference from the scene at Osgiliath.

I really hope you like it! :) All comments are much appreciated! ^_^

Awesome!!! I love LotR hehe...
That's such an amazing pic!
You deserve to be proud! You have every right!

I'm especially fond of the shading on their armor. It looks so realistic!

Wow Forest Grovyle, I always knew you were an extremely talented artist on the computer, but I never knew you could match your high standards with a mouse, with a pencil.

It's just plain amazing hehe..

Thanks everyone! ^_^ I really appreciate all your comments!
LoTR rules! :D Boromir is my fave character. :) I don't draw by hand too often, but when I do, I often surprise myself! I'm thinking I may draw a Pokemon picture by hand soon...haven't done one of those in a long time!

You bet! Hehe..
And Boromir rocks! A lot of people think he's a bad guy, but in reality (as real as LotR can get hehe), he's actually really nice! It's the ring that made him act that way! He did many different things in the book, and in the movie he made a really strong bond with Merry and Pippin.

Gahh, that was off-topic....sorry!

I still think your pic is great! I'm suprised it took five hours. I would've expectrd it would take a lot more!

Yeah, facial proportions are way off, but you have a knack for looking at something and drawing it right back. You have talent, I can see that. The shading in the aromour is particularly outstanding. Very nice work!

The shading on the armour is amazing. You have a talent for bringing out the subtle colours and shades in greyscale.


"One reason why mathematics enjoys special esteem, above all other sciences, is that its laws are absolutely certain and indisputable, while those of other sciences are to some extent debatable and in constant danger of being overthrown by newly discovered facts."
Albert Einstein

"What science can there be more noble, more excellent, more useful for men, more admirably high and demonstrative than mathematics."
Benjamin Franklin

"Mathematics, rightly viewed, possesses not only truth, but supreme beauty – a beauty cold and austere, like that of sculpture, without appeal to any part of our weaker nature, without the gorgeous trappings of paintings or music, yet sublimely pure and capable of a stern perfection such as only the greatest art can show."

The head of the person on the left looks a little weird in proportions and the nose is a bit out of shape, but the one on the right looks alright. Other than those, the picture looks great (Amazing...you got the body-to-head proportions right too!). Especially that shading. I can't never do those kind of stuff well.

(FG: btw, hope you don't mind me having taken off the signature you did for me last time. I'm still keeping it in case I'll using it again ^^)

Just came back. Below is my old signature.

Thanks everyone :)
I know that the picture is far-from-perfect, but I love to give these things a go, as I love looking at realism art on the Internet. :) I find faces and such really hard to draw, but as they say, practice makes perfect! ^_^ That's the wonderful thing about art - it's all down to interpretation! :)

P.S. No worries, Purin! ;) I don't mind at all! :)

I hope I will, StarLightUmbreon! :) I've had some scenes suggested to me to try, so I think I may take a shot at those. :) I'm working on some Pokemon art though, and I may want to try some of this in hand-drawn rather than on the computer.

Man that is really bad...dont mean to bring you down put they eye's are way off and the nose is to off kilter and you should learn anatomy a little better.
*laughs*

Apparently you know nothing of real artistry...Just because a few things are disproportioned like the eyes and head (sorry, but they're off by quite a bit) that doesn't mean the whole drawing is bad. The amazing skills shown on the bodies MORE than make up for the mistakes...

FG...I can say without a doubt that realistic human faces are BY FAR the most difficult thing to draw...if you had told us that you just drew two random people we'd all be like "OMG"

I rarely ever saw that someone's drawings are extremely good, but your's are!

BOO ya!

Thanks so much! :)
Awwww...thanks, Dakota! ^_^ Human faces are indeed really hard to draw - I'd love to get better at them, so I love to practice! :D I really appreciate what you said - it means a lot to me! :)
