Description I rarely do characters, but this one just popped up in between a million sketches.

A Sylvan Elf of Mirkwood, one of the hunters of Thranduil. ( by J.R.R. Tolkien)

Just scribbling in Photoshop, 2 hours.

Enjoy. Since drawing characters is new to me, please let me know what you think.

This is just gorgeous.
One nit (not previously noted), it appears that the bow string is being drawn at the joints of the fingers. It should be at the end pads.

Kelor [2010-02-24 09:06:30 +0000 UTC]

Beautifully done.
I'm trying to imagine the bow at full draw in relation to the length of the arrow. I noticed recently that one of my friends drew her arrow too short. I think this one looks good though.
The clothing looks nicely textured and the wrinkles and folds look great. Beautiful and realistic.

woutart In reply to Kelor [2010-02-24 11:13:44 +0000 UTC]

The arrow maybe could use an extra inch or two, it is after all a recurving longbow.

Thanks for taking the time! Glad you enjoyed it.

I totally agree with Tulikoura, I don't have much to add after such a precise comment ^^
The anatomy itself is very well done just a little thing that bothers me on the right arm but it's not very important. The way the arm bends is a little weird. The arrangement between the arm and forearm gives a disturbing impression.

But still, it's an awesome drawing

Tulikoura [2010-02-23 22:40:14 +0000 UTC]

I like this - especially the "texture" of his clothing looks great with all those details. Resembles wool or something - although I guess it's meant to be a bit blurry looking (figuring how you painted bracelets).

For "some" reason, the background made me think of winter and how his "camouflage" gear would look then - furs and so on

I also wondered the position of his right hand a moment, but yeah, I can say that perspective, shading and position can make a normal body look odd enough. And this is how I imagine bowman handling the grip of arrow.

Altogether, very "tolkienish" looking elf. Not these "pretty boys" you accidentally see now and then .

Thanks J.

I know from experience the grip on the arrow is ok, but the angle looks a bit off indeed. Ah well, better next time

I don't like the pretty boy-elf-look. Maybe when they are happy and singing, but not while on serious business.

only his right hand looks kinda odd to me ...

woutart In reply to Fuiin [2010-02-23 21:23:46 +0000 UTC]

Thanks. Yeah you're right. It's the angle of the arm I think.
