Description Goodness this was fun to draw. Christopher Lee as Saruman, of course. (My sister suggests that his palantir may be a bit too small.)
Consider this a prelude to a series of Lord of the Rings caricatures...

mechanical pencil on paper, about 15 or 20 minutes I'd guess...

Wow. Simply wonderful. As always you capture the expressions so well. I thought it was interesting reading about how Christopher Lee was really the only member of the cast that was a true Tolkien fan. He knew the stories inside and out. All the rest of them had only been casual readers at most. You are so talented. Truly.

Thank you so much. That's funny about Christopher Lee. He must have been thrilled to get the part.

awesome! Saruman IS a lot of fun to draw, I think its the eyebrows and the nose. You got him down good! I agree with your sister about the palantir though But he looks AWESOME!
