How to Draw Lord of the Rings
J. R. R. Tolkien's most popular work - The Lord of the Rings is a great place to 'draw' ideas from - as yes, there are so many different types of creatures. Elves, Dwarves, Orcs, Dragons... Cave Trolls!
One thing I find really cool with respect to creating drawing lessons and well - just art in general... is imagining what certain characters/monsters, etc. would look like based on the author's description of them in the book.
How about yourself... ever tried this?
Tolkien does an amazing job of this - and even though we've got a nice visual from the movie adaptation - we can still take things a step further, and come up with different takes on the looks of things.
Just about half way through 'The Silmarillion' (as I'm typing this) - another great read!... I'm thinking a character like Tulkas or Melkor - would be a great lesson.
