Gandalf the Rainbow + Grey🌈✨ My Entry for @Sethlinsons Art Contest
Thank you for this contest @sethlinson
I just made this today and finished it today. In around 2 hours or so.
Mithrandir
Wasn't it he who faced Balrog and let his comrades free?
Wasn't it he who led the fellowship of the ring?
He who Frodo would greet so dearly?
He who lady Galadriel trusts so deeply?
FRODO: I wish the ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.
GANDALF: So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for us to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us
- The Lord of the Rings, J.R.R. Tolkein
Big thumbs up to Gandalf for all his wisdom and guidance all through out everything!
My art piece is white and grey but colorful! I hope this helps gandalf stay magical and pure! 🌈🌟✨
PROCESS PHOTOS
Materials:
- HB PENCIL
- VELLUM BOARD
- MITSUBISHI JAPAN BRAND OF COLORED PENCILS
- SIGNO WHITE PEN
- BLACK PENS
- MARKERS
Sharing some tips as well.
Picture #4 observe how there's a green drawing on the eye. And some green shades. Green can be used to be a base shade and also to draw with as it is easily covered and blended to look natural and easily is covered by other colors.
Picture #6 adding brown and less black. Brown should be the darkest color you should use. Only add black Coloredpencils for the shadows or maybe the dark shades on the eyes to make it most realistic.
Here is the example of how brown is a good midtone and shadow as well.
- Picture #9 Using a pen to add more depth to shadow. *** Black pens are the darkest effect you can create so use it and be careful to maintain the shape of whatever you draw***
BLACK MARKER AND WHITE PEN
let's use some negativity!
For the hair I colored it with the rainbow! Supposed to be grey but I for the twist, I make everything colorful instead of too grey.
I used a black marker to darken the background and use a white pen for hair strands.
Observe: the left side
Then the right side
Sign it and then scan it and then done! 🎨
Cropped: though my signature got cut, anyway... Done!
REFERENCE:
Ctto
I think in this picture it was in the mines of Moria
THANK YOU AND HOPE YOU LEARNED SOMETHING!
I enjoyed this quick drawing, it's small but a good way to practice portraits which is what I've been aiming to improve with recently.
