Thorin Oakenshield

Description

My first portrait on A2, yay! Recently (and mainly fired up by The Hobbit), I got all back into my love for middle earth again. And since I'm currently in drawing mode, too, I decided to draw Thorin Oakenshield, aka Richard Armitage. I think it's absolutely amazing how this fantastic actor manages to get me all fired up for a character that I could never really warm up with in the book before. But wow, do I understand Thorin and his choices much better now! The third movie will probably break my heart.

The photograph doesn't exactly do the entire picture justice, but I'm still practising at how to take pictures of something this large. Anyway, doing this was great fun, although after a day of working on it, I kind of wanted to strangle myself: I really don't like drawing hair that much and I chose a dude with long, slightly curly hair and a shaggy beard who's wearing a freaking pelt. I swear, the next portrait will be of Bruce Willis...

Medium: pencils (HB to 9B)
Size: A2
Time: around 40 hours

Enjoy! =) And I will keep practising...
