An illustration of Smaug for The Hobbit. Can’t help but see this character as a metaphor for current events and attitudes.

don’t think i ever posted this, a first tryout for a D&D character: Milo the dwarf, a blacksmith turned adventurer. In dire need of some armor, but hopefully finding it on the path to glory Any tips/suggestions for other characters or armor? What does he badly need to survive the numerous monsters on his adventure?? #digitalart #sketch #dungeonsanddragons #dnd #dwarf #criticalrole #characterdesign #milo (bij Utrecht, Netherlands) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLygvwgjdKM/?igshid=1x91ofbetkkoi

3rd try: tried some more head construction from reference. had to look at my notes from @ronlemen pencils/charcoal on pressed (?) bad paper. wanted to thumbnail some ideas but I’m so slow, so tomorrow! note to self: don’t unintentionally use used/impressed upon paper when using pencils/charcoal🤦🏽‍♀️ . . . . . . . #sketch #sketchbook #art #artoninstagram #artist #artistsoninstagram #pencil #charcoal #crappypaper #headconstruction #portrait #drawing #draw #lemenaid #ronlemen #reference #beauty (bij Home Sweet Home)

tried head construction portrait with audrey hepburn as a ref while waiting for paint to dry... didn’t get the likeness but had some zen-moments during drawing and blending, which was nice. also, really cheap cardboard-type paper? . . . . . . . . #art #instaart #artoninstagram #artist #drawing #charcoal #staedtler #audreyhepburn #reference #portrait #pencil #lighting (bij Home Sweet Home)

stuff I ordered I don’t remember: got a whiteboard notebook delivered and drew a bit on it to test it out (and instantly damaging the surface ofcourse...) weird but fun! . . . . . . #instaart #whiteboard #wipebook #massdrop #staedler #art #green #figuredrawing #captaincook #sketching (bij Home Sweet Home)
