Sure, he's lovely and has some one of the coolest battle techniques I know about, but I'm more of an Aragorn fan

I love Aragorn too. I love both of them, especially when they're in scenes together. They're like best friends.

They are indeed, though I think the relationship between Legolas and Gimli is the most entertaining one; their attitude towards each other and constant competition is so amusing, yet they would both risk their life for the other.

I know! They're so adorable. <3 I'm planning on drawing another drawing of Legolas really soon. I'm not satisfied with my last one. -runs off to draw Legolas a gazillion times until I get a perfect likeness like yours-

Haha!
If you want some really really good advice on how to draw portraits as near perfection as possible: Flip both the reference picture and the drawing horizontally every now and then while drawing, it will help your eyes seeing everything that needs to be fixed. If you draw traditionally on pencil and paper, you can do so by holding the drawing up against a window or lamp, and see it from behind I do it all the time, and sometimes I even draw upside down! (the picture, not me
)

Haha, thanks! Maybe I've used pencils so much that I use the same technique when sketching on the computer

We've all got our own techniques, so I guess my technicue is just a bit more "pencil-ish" than other's. Merry, Pippin and Boromir will be drawn as soon as I've got a nice collection of screenshots to choose from

That's definitely true lol. Plus, with me, there's just something I really like about holding the pencil in my hand for some reason. Awesome ^^ I'll keep an eye out
