... for Lúthien was the most beautiful of all the Children of Ilúvatar. Blue was her raiment as the unclouded heaven, but her eyes were grey as the starlit evening; her mantle was sewn with golden flowers, but her hair was dark as the shadows of twilight. As the light upon the leaves of trees, as the voice of clear waters, as the stars above the mists of the world, such was her glory and her loveliness; and in her face was a shining light.
JRR Tolkien - The Silmarillion; p. 193

Another of Tolkien's characters...
I bought new graphite monolith pencils and just had to try them. ^^; Maybe some day I'll get around doing a more refined version of this, I'm not quite happy with the outcome yet ...

Graphite on greenish-grey paper; reference used

Thank you for looking! :dummy:

I'm afraid I can't help there. This year I'm lacking ideas myself and haven't even started making any presents :noes:

Do you have a special wish this year? ^^;

There's such a unique clarity to her beauty--radiant and lovely. And her eyes are just gorgeously rendered! :heart:
