Drawing of Viggo Mortensen as Aragorn and Elijah Wood as Frodo Baggins

graphite on watercolor hot pressed paper.
Size of the artwork: 30x40 cm
Made from 3 screen captures from "The Fellowship of the Ring" (The Lord of the Ring trilogy)
time to draw: about 100 hours

All the steps of the work in progress can be seen in full size at my website here: [link]

This is my entry for Diamond4girl's contest "Drawn to a moment"

The "Lord of the Ring" trilogy is one of my favorite movies and since we could use several screen captures, I chose to picture one of my favorite scenes from "The Fellowship of the Ring" so the drawing is made from 3 screen captures from that scene. I know they shouldn't be in that order if I was respecting the chronology of the scene but I thought it would make a better composition that way since I wanted to integrate Aragorn's words to Frodo: "I would have gone with you to the end. Into the very fires of Mordor"

edited: Thanks for the :+fav: on this artwork. I don't have the time to thank each one of you but know that it's much appreciated :heart:

Wow....

This is one the best Lord of the Rings pieces I have ever seen! Heck, one of the best traditional pieces I have ever seen!

You have chosen one of my favorite scenes. When you watch it, it's a simple scene but there is so much emotion in it. One of the most moving scenes of the entire trilogy.

Now, on to your work. The shading is excellent, you managed to put a lot of depth into this work and all textures (trees, rocks, clothing) are instantly recognizable.
You also managed to capture the likeness of these two actors perfectly. The shading and detailing on their hair, faces and Aragorn's hands is very well done.
The quote is a very nice touch and helps to remember the emotions of the scene which only adds to the impact of the piece.

I have looked at this drawing for a very long time and I can't find a fault in it. This is an amazing piece of art!
You are a very talented artist, well done! :clap:

Amazing!!! Love the contrast as well. I think Aragorn's face is just slightly off, especially in the forehead, but the middle drawing is STUNNING.

Over all, well done!
