#2 in my series of the Valar. This is Nessa, sister of Orome, wife of Tulkas.
Quoted from the Silmarillion - "Deer she loves, and they follow her train whenever she goes in the wild; but she can outrun them, swift as an arrow with the wind in her hair. In dancing she delights, and she dances in Valimar on lawns of never-fading green."
Yeah...the hand and hair are pretty bad, but I've been working on this for a while and I just got tired of it and rushed through the end. My favorite part is the eyes...I love drawing eyes <3
HB, 2B, 0.7mm mechanical pencil, paper stub, tissue, kneaded eraser
EDIT: Fixed the title to match the rest of the series! Sorry if this shows up in your devwatch again!
Nice drawing, I love the eyes, and how they look all shiny I must finish reading the Silmarillion someday :\
The hand is actually quite good imo, just a little more contrast and it'll be perfect I like the way the hair covers most of the drawing, and frames the face, it adds contrast to the drawing and helps achieve a strong composition, however, the face is right in the middle of the drawing, moving it slightly to the left would improve the composition even more.
I like the softness of your shading, especially around it eyes With the hair, the top is good, but at the bottom of the drawing, it kind of suddenly ends, maybe continuing it to the edge of the drawing would be better.
Overall it's a very nice drawing, great shading and excellent anatomy
Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 10 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
When it comes to community spirit, `Rushy is a shining example. From participating in devmeets, to providing positive encouragement to other artists, `Rushy can always be found demonstrating what it really takes to be a true deviant. It's without any hesitation that we are delighted to award the Deviousness Award for July 2009 to `RushyRead More
