So much for keeping this blog post serialized. Here's my newest piece in full, from thumbnail to final painting.
This painting pretty much followed the same steps as the previous Frodo one. Just alternating between paint and colored pencils. I've launched my Youtube Channel and have 5 videos of my progress through this painting. I go through my process a little more thoroughly as well as my materials. Please feel free to comment on my videos, subscribe, and ask any questions you'd like me to answer on future videos. Here's the link: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOlXF1Y0baSWGZIMIEw4nvA/videos
