Description for the Daily Sketch Challenge...

this was a little difficult for me, 'cause i'm not a big LOTR fan...and to drum up the energy to draw this character after a full day of work was a chore.

but, i used the time to experiment a bit.....and that made this a lot of fun...even though it didn't turn out the way i wanted. but, a lot of fun to do.

about 50 minutes on this one....

Hey - I loved this depiction of Samwise. I know it was hard for you to draw, but you did a great job. I featured it in an article I wrote with Samwise in it. I linked the picture to this page and gave you the credit for it (of course.) However, if you want me to take it down - I will. Here is a link to the article in question: [link]

That is pretty impressive, for a hobbit I mean I really like the lighting on the hair.

This is excellent for a non LOTR fan. Even I (a massive fan) couldn't draw him that well.

fan or not, i think if you approach the character with some respect and sincerity....you'll always do a half decent job at least
