Artist's Comments
Charcoal, graphite and white pencil on grey paper
Inspired by - er, I don't really have to tell you do I? Update: 14 Sept 2005 The comments and feedback I've had on this pic since it was selected to be a DD have been overwhelming to say the least. I am most appreciative of all comments, especially the ones that pointed out things they _didn't_ like - hehe. I did it and I know only too well the bits that suck  But thanks one and all for your feedback and I will answer all comments personally. This pic is second in the series of the 9 members of the Fellowship (Legolas was the first). The originals are an ongoing birthday/Christmas gift to my mom. So yes, the other 7 characters are coming Many many comments say "wow you are so good" "I wish I could draw like this" and so on. That is very kind but ANYONE can learn to draw portraits like this. I promise. I am the living proof  Go to this site and look at the before-and-after galleries. See the difference? You can go from "can't draw to save my life" to "can draw realistic self portrait" in FIVE DAYS. This author is who I learned from. Drawing is all about putting down on paper what _is_ there, not what you think is there. Go on - you know you want to I am NOT promising a miracle transformation - improving your drawing takes practice of course, but you will radically improve VERY quickly.

Toshi commands you!!
that is amazing! you are extreemly talented. it looks just like him. but i do have a question. how do you (personally) keep the charcoal from getting everywhere? i have a bad tendacy to get it on my hand and then smudge so i don't generally use my charcoal pencils that i have, though i would like to.
