Description

EDIT: I changed the size of the Fullview image so as to correct the resolution. It's a small piece so making it larger over-exaggerates the texture of the colored pencil, which is not obvious in the actual drawing. ^^;

First piece of fan art for this account! :dance: And it's one of my favorite LotR characters, King Theoden of Rohan! His armor is so bad-ass, too! :heart:

This was a very ambitious piece of work for me to do, given the fact that I have not drawn any fan art in over a year. I haven't even drawn any realistic or photo-realistic art in all that time. However, my love for The Lord of the Rings (novels and films) pushed me to do this. I felt quite nervous working on it, especially given how small I was doing it! (on an ACEO card)

The drawing was done in one sitting and took a few hours to do. The most difficult parts of this drawing were Theoden's hair and the out of focus background. His armor actually wasn't all that hard to work on. Unfortunately, the scan changed a lot of the original colors even when I tried to adjust it in GIMP.

So, hope all of you like it!

Materials: Prismacolor and Crayola colored pencils, white gel pen on 2.5"x3.5" paper (ACEO). Black border added in GIMP.
