Art Practice 8. Jed Brophy as Nori

So much for every day. :eyeroll: From now on I'll just post whenever I get something done, because I have a million projects.

Anyway, this time I went for something different - namely jumped from the digital field to the traditional one. I wanted to practice pencil drawing, which is something I have not done in quite a while. I also tried a different technique from the one I usually go for - smudging, that is.

This is Jed Brophy as Nori the dwarf as seen in the trailer of the Peter Jackson adaptation of "The Hobbit". The one they have apparently named "the starfish" on theonering.net. He has pretty wild hair. Many people apparently don't like his design but I personally find it fascinating! I also love how he looks pretty cunning when you see him move and make faces. <3

Original size: less than an A4.
Drawn with a technical pencil with gods know what kind of lead (it's still the one the pencil came with, haha).
Time spent: 3-4 hours with a dinner break. c:

The colors and contrast have been slightly enhanced in Photoshop, because my scanner kills all color and contrast. :/

Wonky crop is wonky.
