Fili training

The dwarf Fili from "The hobbit" as portrayed by Dean O'Gorman in Peter Jackson's movie. Black ink and pencil.
The posture was based on a stock picture by , God bless him! ^^ [link]

Now, about this... I wanted to draw movement, as you may have noticed. My drawings are often too... static, so I tried this. And I also wanted to draw Fili, as I already drew Kili and as his costume just kicks arses. Talking about his costume, this is NOT like the original from the movie. I based myself on this pic which is an excellent reference ([link]) but I coudn't do it perfectly alike.

Also, yes, there's no fucking background x) People watching me may have noticed it already, but I hate backgrounds, mostly because backgrounds hate me. So I prefer not taking the risk to waste this by drawing a shitty and not-very-inspired background. Still, don't call this picture a sketch, please. Sometimes, people commenting my pics by saying "nice sketch" when it was -in my mind - a finished picture. I didn't say anything because I'm no artist and I'm not a professional anyway, but if you call this picture a sketch for any reason, I'll truly feel more offended than if you say it's crap. ^^" So please... Don't.
