Yes! YES! Someone else remembered that Luthien had to cut her hair short! As in close to her head!

Though doubtless it grew out long afterwards, to its original length. 

I love the style of the pencil, parchment, and white ... is that pastel? Or white paint?

I think it says in the Lay of Leithian that her hair grew back at a normal rate after she cut it off? Personally I tend to picture her on the Quest with the short hair, but yes, I do think she probably grew it out afterwards.

It's toned art paper, pencil and white colored pencil.  I'm glad you like it!  Thanks for taking the time to comment.

It says that in the Silmarillion too, I believe. Yes, she would have had to have grown it out. I'm not very sure of this, but she could have been granted a new body when she returned to Middle-earth with Beren... maybe? Probably not, though. 

Thanks, and you're welcome!

This is actually very romantic!
