Thanks Lassie! I love doing shading, but your right about Helm's Deep looking alittle more like a sketch.

I can tell that you like shading - it's really clear you spent a lot of time on it, and it looks really nice. I liked Lonely Mountain and the Hobbit Hole too - they seemed a little more 'complete' than the others, if you know what I mean. There was more detail, or maybe just more you wanted to put into the picture? Very nice, though.

Hey yall, well i have drawn several pictures and i would like yalls opinion on them. I have posted in the mutual appreciation thread and got nothing. I have put a link to my pictures in the Member's Art.

Please be critical, i won't get mad or anything. I want your honest opinion, because i want to get better at drawing.

Thanks yall! much appreciated!

I like them all. The best one (IMHO) is Galadriel. While not technically perfect, it does something all artists strive for-it catches her spirit. The technical niceties-those can come easily with practice and training, but you already seem to have the "touch". How does one tell? Anyone-even taking a passing glance would easily recognize that as Cate Blanchett. That fact is very impressive considering-again, that it is not technically refined.

Nice work.

Drawings:

So I recently decided to take up drawing, and of course, the first thing I wanted to draw was people from lord of the rings!
so here is what ive been up to lately. (the links to them are below the thumbnails. they were too big to put in a post).

Frodo:

I love drawing, I mostly use a tablet (I don't like to clean >.<
here's a few I did.



I didn't use references on the first two, which is why the anatomy is kind of wonky. :/
The last one I used an old photo of myself for a reference.

Wow nice! I didn't realized that CoE has so many artists here! I guess that means that I need to stop being lazy and draw more.

I think you should Elanor_the_elf! It's always nice to see new things from people. Though it is your decision.

Amaille_Valin_Idhren - Wonderful paintings! There is something very...calming about them, they have a peaceful feeling about them
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever. - Psalm 23

Yes I do, but I'm not very good at aallll....creativity and artist run in my family. My oldest brother and oldest sister are really good, my dad's mom was a really good artist, though she started later in life, my younger sister is good too, but though I think of pictures I'd like to draw I can't seem to get it on paper. :\

I'm guessing you also drew your avi? I like it, btw.

Hmm, maybe you can ask your family to give you some pointers.
I learned from a course by Carrie Stuart Parks, she draws for the FBI.
Yes, I did draw my avi...she is a character in a story that I am trying to write...not very fast with it though.

Ariadwen- Wow what wonderful Drawings, makes my work look like crap! Arwen and Galadriel are really Fantastic! I really must say you are very talented! Thanks for sharing such beautiful works of art with us.

Congrats!

Thanks Aragorn16Estel and Leoflic_Nightleaf!I am glad that you liked them.
And Aragorn16Estel I am sure that no one's work deserves to be called crap. Remember practice makes perfect. My first drawings were not very good either.
