Maglor playing his lute in the blissful days of Valinor

I used a pencil brush this time to give it a more ‘sketchy’ look, and I quite like the outcome. I also leaned into a blue/teal theme, as I was colouring it in, which I really like. Personally, I feel it suits him.

“When she was grown to full stature and beauty she was tall and strong, and loved much to ride and hunt in the forests…Ar-Feiniel she was called, the White Lady of the Nolder, for she was pale, though her hair was dark, and she was never arrayed but in silver and white.”

Varda, Lady of the Stars, who knows all the regions of Eä. Too great is her beauty to be declared in the words of Men or of Elves; for the light of Ilúvatar lives still in her face. In light is her power and her joy.

Definitely one of my favourite artworks so far.

Happy New Year everyone! My first post of 2024 is the cousins on the braid train. From left to right is young Maedhros, Fingon and Finrod, doing each others hair in the morning.

So glad I finally got round to drawing these three, especially Fingon and Finrod who I haven’t drawn yet till now.

Nerdanel going out with little Mae. I really love how this one turned out.

Caranthir the dark and Amrod (right) and Amras (left). I really wanted to do Curufin at some point, but just (rather frustratingly) couldn’t think of how to draw him. Oh well, hopefully I’ll do him at some point.

I couldn’t really figure out the shading on the twins, but I mainly just love the emotion in it, (their Valinor days were very happy) and have had it for a while, so might as well post it. Maybe I’ll finish it off another time. 😊

“Celegorm the Fair”

The greatest huntsman amongst the elves and Fëanor’s third child

“Maglor the mighty singer, whose voice was heard far over land and sea”

Fëanor’s second, and most musical child

“The seven sons of Fëanor were Maedhros the tall…”

Meadhros carrying little Maglor on his shoulders to watch the light in Valinor. I like to think that due to his height, his brothers got him to do this a lot when they were little; they could see so much from up there (and being the caring older brother he was, he always let them).

Some drawings of Fëanor and Nerdanel. They’re a bit old, but I still like them, so I thought I might as well post them. Hope you like. :)

(And yes, I did use reference sheets by the artist Kibbitzer from Pinterest. Not sure if I’m supposed to cred them or not on here, but I will just in case. They’re very helpful for beginner and amateur artists.)

“Then hate overcame Fëanor’s fear, and he cursed Melkor and bade him be gone, saying: ‘Get thee gone from my gate, thou jail-crow of Mandos!’ And he shut the doors of his house in the face of the mightiest of all dwellers of Eä.”

Hey there. I am a self taught amateur artist, and a huge fan of Tolkien’s Silmarillion. I love all the characters and drama within it, and ever since I read it, I so desperately wanted to draw it. So here’s my first artwork of two of my fave characters, Fëanor and Melkor. Love drawing these two.
