Inktober Day 8: Star
Arwen’s Evenstar
Yes, I drew a pictured related to Lord of the Rings again! 😁 If you recognize the pendent then you’ll know that this was given to Aragorn in the film by Arwen. Fun fact! In the books it was referred to as the “white jewel” upon her chest but in the film it’s called the Evenstar (Evening Star), which is one of Arwen’s names. I did not know that..I guess I’ll have to level up my nerd game.
The progress...
I was going to freehand sketch this until I remembered the handy symmetry tool that Procreate has. Yay! Lifesaver!
After I got the lines inked, I began to adjust the shape of the pendent until it looked close to the image references that I had pulled.
Next the details of what looks to be either leaves or feathers behind the jewels.
Details in the jewels....which aren’t perfect. This is definitely looking like a page from a coloring book.
Shading with light feathery strokes.
The image was looking flat and it was hard to make out the shapes because of all the details so I went in with an ink marker to darken the shadows. I probably could’ve deepened the shadows more so I could added highlights to make the jewel shine but I got tired and needed to go home.

There is nothing like too much of Lord of the Rings, at least not for me @vermillionfox :) Nice and gentle one.
This is exactly why I think you’re the best! :D
❤️ 🧡 💛 💚
The symetry tool on procreate is really fun, i have played with it for some time. The jewely looks awesome, have you used reference for the geometry?...i always habe difficulty drawing jewels.
It’s a lifesaver! I suck with geometric shapes. When I got to the gems I just drew whatever lines I wanted in until it looked right. 🤷🏻♀️
Hehe that’s one way to do it, and it working out 😄🤙
Incredible work although I really do not remember that pending, I'll have to see the movie one of these days. 😉
A tattoo like that would look amazing. 🤗
You should! It’s still good even after all these years. ^^
I could see this as a tattoo!
Missed you lil artiste💜
Aww, I miss you my dear! I saw that you’re now a raven haired goddess 💜 You look gorgeous!
Thank you sugar! Missed you too my sweet friend! So glad to be back in full force🖤
Beautiful ! I love this pendant so much, and it is definitely a good drawing for the prompt "star" !!! <3
Thanks spidey! I’m always trying to think of something different but still within my interest when drawing for each prompt. ^^
