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 ) I have blurred out the mark on her right cheek which was caused by paper damage (my fault heh...something got stuck to the paper and I tried to remove with a craft knife ) That's the only editing I've ever done (apart from colour balancing to get rid of the washout from scanning)

Anyway, Enjoy!

Wow! I immediately enlarged it because I didn't see the smudge. I'm glad I did. The detail on the shoulder of the dress is impressive. I understand about getting bored. Keep up the great work.

Carryn In reply to Kalgoras [2012-05-28 03:05:02 +0000 UTC]

You're welcome. I just wondered what you had done to get rid of the smudge. So nice. Again, I am thoroughly impressed.

Kalgoras In reply to Carryn [2012-05-28 16:42:26 +0000 UTC]

Just blurred it a bit in GIMP I can't do much to get rid of it in real life as it's a hole in the paper, so the edges pick up the graphite

Bravo! It's done! I enjoy the detail of the hair Tho, her lips (IN real life not on your pic) always bothered me. For the sheer fact they look all dried out.
