[Process]

Get them dark darks man almost black. But maintain some near white highlights that's how you get it boi

DanielFG responds:

I know...everyone has been saying that...but it's kinda scary to just screw everything up...so I kind of involuntarily do it all super white...

[Harry Potter and The One Ring]

Ring looks like wood. You should add more dark yellow tint

[The precious]

You need characters from both the worlds of harry potter and lotr by that standerd this is automatically disqualified :/

Aragderp responds:

If the rules say "depicting an interaction/clash between any mix of characters from the Lord of the Rings, and the Harry Potter Universes." ; I think mixing prominent features of two characters (Dobby and Gollum) into one character should at least be open for debate and not automatically disqualified though. :/

[Your weapon has broken]

[Gandalf vs Dumbledore]

Remember you have to tag cotmloth for challenge of the month lord of the Hogwarts. Very nice color I like the contrasts and strong clean lines proportions are a bit wacky but I like it

LottieEmily12 responds:

Thanks Jerry, I'll do that! Like your stuff too

[Gandalf, Dumbledore and the Chamber of Mordor]

If you don't have water color paper I would suggest skipping them. And you should look up resources before drawing. Like Google hand holding a sword and basalisk. Other than that well done

Krzeslicko responds:

Hah, guess you're right. Those bruises look really awful. Nut I love water colours and when I get my hands on the paper I will try using again. And you're right with the references, this doesn't look too good either...
Anyways, thank you very much for your opinion! I'll try sticking to it as much as I can in the future!

[First ilustration]

Its very rough and stiff. Look into anatomy poses and try to loosen up. With the shading use a soft brush to blend together light and shadow for the softer transitions. Then go over them with a lower opacity brush for texturing. If your program dosent allow it than just do what you can *-*

LeCanart responds:

i´m going to try, thanks for the coment :)

[Destiny of The World in a Quidditch Match]

When your shading skin you should use what's called tone shifting. So tint the shadows a bit red to make them look better. Very nice highlights on saron though that's cool

[Final Drawing Lord of The Hogwarts]

Maby work on larger paper if your going to use the rough colored pencil method. Otherwise sharpen those pencils man to get best quality

[These are not Orcs I think]

Oh man I was hoping someone would make tree beard. While using colored pencils you should make sure to shade very softly until its almost flat and then gradually get harder until its as dark as you want it. That or use a blending stump will get rid of white flecks where you can see the paper

ArtBecomesAlive responds:

yes I know :/ the paper is really rough and I couldn't make it look better but I must say, it looks better in original that on the foto ;)
Anyway thanks for the comment. I'm always trying to get some input :)
