Cloaked Thorin in the Rain

I've posted several things in the past, in my Scraps and on my blog explaining this piece...

The final piece is drawn on 11x14 Bristol (transferred with lightbox, using blue pencil... some tiny detailed sections were lightly drawn in 2H pencil so I could see them better). Inked using Winsor & Newton series 7 brushes (sizes #2, & #3) with Higgins Black Magic Ink. Also small details and straight lines inked using Micron (#'s 08 & 03) and Faber-Castell (size M?) waterproof ink pens. Also final details and effects done with black (and some) white pencils, as well as Dr. Ph Martin's Bombay India Ink.

Whew! I admit, I didn't continuously work on this one, so it would have been finished quicker if I'd focused better and wasn't as distracted. Hubby and I LOVED Thorin stomping around muddy Bree in DoS... so I just had to!

Edited to add: I was so rushed to get this online, I didn't realize I wasn't paying tons of attention to the scan and balancing the light/dark. You can see a photo of a closeup of his face here on my FB Page in the comments....  www.facebook.com/CFGriffithPro…
