I drew this some time ago, from a photo of Merry (yeah, I'm one of those draw-from-a-photo people). Instead of scanning it I just took a picture and the camera added it's own kind of gradient. The drawing actually goes down past his waist, but I'm still trying to get a good picture of that. This is pretty close to its actual size and was done with pencil.

And I just have to add that Merry is my favorite hobbit, because he is awesome.

Merry was created by JRR Tolkien, as we all know.

EDIT: I finally uploaded the full, scanned version. Doesn't it look so much better? Oh yes.

Holy cow! That's really well done. I wish I could draw that realistically!

Thanks! Gotta love Merry.

Love the Wonka quote too. :)
Thanks! It took ages, but it was worth it. As for drawing realistically, it just takes practice so keep at it!
Yet another stunning portrait! :clap: I love the light in this one--from behind and above...the look on his face, and the pipe in his lips adds to the contemplative "feel"--just wonderful! Amazing texturing on the coat, and in the hair...just wow!! :+fav:

Thanks :) This is my favorite drawing that I've ever done so I'm happy other people like it too. I love drawing the costumes in LOTR...one of these days I need to draw Arwen or Galadriel and try to replicate their more floaty, feminine clothes.

Ooooo! I'll definitely be watching for some of those! :D And I can understand your justifiable pride in this piece--it's truly outstanding! :clap:
