Artist's Comments

charcol and white conte portrait of sir ian mckellen or better known as gandalf.
the whole time i was drawing this i would hear "you shall not pass" ringing in my head.
and also the extras sketch with "sir ian sir ian sir ian".


have to say, not my best. the paper that i used was shittaki, i just ripped out from my book and couldnt be f**d to use proper drawing paper. yes i know that a true artist doesnt blame their tools but watever.

reference to a pic on google





EDIT:
its been bugging me for ages the quality of the photograph so i tried again. this one is soooo much better...
