Description My cards for a Lord of the Rings swap. I decided to draw some elves.

Legolas and Galadriel are drawn from my head, but Arwen is influenced by the movie version (since I had absolutely no image of Arwen in my head while reading - after my first read-though, I had completely forgotten the character). And yes, I drew Legolas as a blonde - I saw the Ralph Bakshi animation too many times as a kid to think of him as anything other than blond.

The way you draw faces..you just give so much personality and character to them through their faces! I could stare at them forever and never stop trying to wonder about them. It helps that I have yet to read the books XD
It's so fun to imagine the world told in a book, even better when you decide to put on paper~

Thanks, I'm glad you like them. I get a bit annoyed at the faces I draw sometimes, since it feels to me like I always draw just one expression. I should branch out!

Welcome! Expressions are pretty hard to capture, they are good goals to work towards though xD
