I'm currently rereading The Hobbit, and was inspired by the merry Wood Elves enough to draw a little picture. This elf in particular is heading off into the forest to do some hunting, and is of course very happy to be amongst the various types of flora and fauna that reside in Mirkwood. After a night of rain, it is certainly wonderful to breathe in the smells of a busy forest on the cusp of Spring. If only Spring would come a little faster here at home!I just used my mechanical pencil + kneaded eraser. I've been trying not to press down as hard with the lead, and remember that "less is more". Sometimes I worry that my lines are too "sketchy" and not clean enough. If I had access to a nice drawing tablet and digital art software, I'm sure I could clean it up a bit. Ah well! For now, I rely on my trusty pencil+sketchbook
