Galadriel- WIP Drawing

Today I thought I'd post the WIP of one of my favorite drawings. Galadriel is an elvish queen who is portrayed by Cate Blanchette in in Peter Jackson's "Lord of the Rings" and "Hobbit" movie trilogies. Galadriel is the original character of JRR Tolkien.

“In Dwimordene,in Lorien
Seldom have walked the feet of Men,
Few mortal eyes have seen the light
That lies there ever,long and bright.
Galadriel!Galadriel!

Clear is the water of your well;
White is the star in your white hand;
Unmarred,unstained is leaf and land
In Dwimordene,in Lorien
More fair than thoughts of Mortal Men.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Two Towers

 

 

Sketchbook #3

I employed the use of pens, markers, and prisms color pencils.

The first has a Harry Potter quote and the second one a poem from the Lord of the Ring.

Sketchbook #1

I've been working in my sketchbook all of December.

Alas I haven't been posting as much as I would've liked; life has been charging along with its usual energy. :)

I hope everyone has been enjoying their holiday season. Where I am we've had a decent fall of snow (at last!) though the forecast is threatening to send it away.

Here are some excerpts from my sketchbook. :)

Sherlock. I went over it with
watercolor.

I used a sketch I found on a Pinterest as a reference photo

I decided to draw a calendar and then fill it in with dates in
no particular order.

I punched holes in several pages to add texture. :)
The top page contains quotes from
"Atlas" from Catching Fire

Quick sketch of the dragon on my cover of the Hobbit book.
The swirls in the border all have different
locations of middle-earth written around them.

Tardis from Doctor Who.
Colored with prismacolor pencils.

I couldn't resist uploading a picture of the
snow Tardis my niece and I made! :D
