Description
Finished it finally...(well ok...I stopped working on it, which is the same thing!). Liv Tyler as Arwen from Lord of the Rings, slowly building up the collection!I've been crawling along doing this for 10-15 mins a day at work, but going to call it here as I'm getting bored hehe
Drawing is about 7x10" on A4 Bristol Board using 2H - 8B pencils, with a Mars Lumo to get the black in the hair. It's the first time I've used a Mars Lumo properly as part of the drawing since my Legolas picture and it works well to get the black
I used a well known reference pic I got off Google and for those who saw my Works in Progress (In my Scrapbook
Anyway, Enjoy!

Great work here--I like the sharpness of the fine details, and the pose has good balance between dark and detailed, and light and open. Very good indeed!

Awesome job, Jonkal! I see you've improved so much on doing hair-- her hair looks fantastic. The realism and likeness is also really good. I think the only thing I want to see more of is you pushing towards a wider tonal value in skin tone. See how dark your shadow is on her left shoulder under her hair? I would love to see that darkness for the rest of her shadowed areas. I also love the details in the small piece of fabric on the bottom left corner. Good job!

Hopefully soon. I haven't been in the best of health. Now that the weather is more calm I can get back into drawing again. I'll start out small and slow and work my way to my usual drawings.. hopefully.

Awesome dude...can't get enough Arwen piccies Will have to look at the Mars Lumo as the hair is rather very good although that amount of detail must have driven you up the wall! I'm still very attached to my mech pencils but with half an idea to do a monster A1 piece, I'm going to get through a lot of lead. Plus I need to dig out my gargantuan A0 drawing board from storage, strap it to the roof of my car and slog it up t'yorkshire before attempting anything that stupid.
I had a dangerous idea the other day - what about a collaborative pencil piece one day dear boy...although that would probably end up creating a singularity and destroy us all

Jeez that's going to be a piece to remember! Ouch a collaboration could be awesome, but it's just fitting it in

Yeah...tell me about it. Time is not on my side either...so much to do so little time. I needs me a DeLorean. With a Flux Capacitor. And a Mr Fusion.
