This is one of my absolute favorite introductions of a character ever, and I just love what you've done with it. The charcoal gives quite a gentle, and yet still a dangerous air, which fits Strider so perfectly. Wonderful!

Thanks so much! and thanks for the fave on it! This is an older piece, originally 8x10 inches, but I had a friend who requested a larger version - I sold her a 20x30!!! Definitely one of my best selling pieces.

Thanks! I've done this one large-sized more recently, and I liked it better. I wish I'd posted it before I sold it. Oh well.

That looks awesome!
You can really work with charcoals O.o I'm still learning to get even a somehow tolerable result...
Then again, you probably have a lot more experience ^^

Try using Charcoal Pencils to start with. It makes it a bit easier.

Yeah, I know. I have been using them a little before... Charcoals are just way cooler XD

Charcoal is my favorite medium, it's perfect for everything, isn't it? But also difficult to work with. This piece is very intense, the way his eyes are on the shadow it's quite unique. Congrats.

Thank you. I actually based this one off of a screenshot in the Prancing Pony Scene of the Fellowship of the Ring.

I do not find charcoal hard to work with at all... then again, I struggle with watercolors, lol!
