#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 :D 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 :)
