Frodo

I'm not sure if I put this in the right category, so if you feel the need to correct me, please do.

It felt so good to be drawing again, and I'm quite pleased with the turnout. I took a bit of liberty with the hair because I'm not the best hair artist and was trying to get used to it. Umm, what else. The tip of the nose still bothers me a bit, but not enough to bother me for the rest of my life, and to the left side of the picture there's one part by Frodo's neck that I don't think I darkened enough. And the highlight on that one fold is probably a bit too light. I'll probably change it later but not bother reposting.

If you see strange looking spots on his head, I'm afraid it's because my stupid fixer started "spraying" droplets instead of mist This paper was a bit difficult to work with because it's very fibrous and sort of pills... well at least I know better for next time..

Overall I'm rather pleased with it!! I was so afraid that it wouldn't look like him. Please full-view... trust me. 3 WIP in scraps!
