Description

The crown made me do it. It's Thranduil, played by Lee Pace, in the second Hobbit movie! Yay! Or at least, it's supposed to be...

What can I say? Patience isn't one of my strengths. XD I did not  intend to post a work in progress picture - I mean, just look at how frightening it looks! -  but a number of things made me change my mind. For one thing, I haven't actually drawn in about a year, and I seem to be a lot more rusty than I at first though. (Never stop drawing, kids.) So this is taking longer than I thought it would. Secondly, it looks so bad. Scary bad. Obviously, it's unfinished and I can see what I need to add to his face, etc. The main thing I'm struggling with is his hair. Pale, silvery hair is not easy to draw, let me tell you. So if anyone has any tips, that would be great. Thirdly, I just like to see how each drawing progresses. I am hoping that by the time this one is done, it will have improved greatly from the first WIP. But we shall see.

Tips, critiques, etc. are welcome.

Gotta love Thranduil. I don't know if you've seen the latest film yet, but he's so good in it! 


This drawing is frustrating though. I keep fighting with the lips in particular. Grr. XD

It really was amazing, wasn't it? Ah, too many pretties. I admit it, I hid behind my hands at the spiders though.

Lips are terrible. I erased them and tried to redo them. Turns out they looked better in this WIP. Grr. Thranduil and I are currently not speaking to each other, but I really want to get the finished portrait up here soon! Sigh. XD

It was an awesome scene. As was the gold covered Smaug. I'm just saying.


We've had some time apart. I saw a photo I'd taken of a WIP today and am tempted to continue working on it. Hopefully. It isn't as bad as I remember... XD
