It's so real. I love this painting. I could look at it hours and still be amazed by it. Gandalf looks as if he's standing near me

This is my favourite of your pictures. You have harnessed Gandalf's terrible and awesome power and concentrated it in his eyes. I gasped when I saw this picture. Congrats, you've really done an awesome sketch!

this is an amazing artwork, i have to say, it is as realistic as real can be, it's perfect, but the best thing is that you look at it and thoug it's perfect, you still know it's drawn, i mean you never think is a very "clever" girl using photoshop, you can actually see that there is "handwork" there, giving the drawing a perfect sense of art. Ana you're my hero, of course you must be a professional with this things, i've been drawing many of this lotr characters, but of course i'm just a girl and i don't have much experience, the only thing i'd like is that you use your amazing talent to make some pieces out of your imagination, (i try to do that) it proves yourself better, well that's it, i like it very much.

I agree that the movie based fan art is over-rated.... although this IS a lovely pencil rendering... would be nice to see some original art from this artist! <img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif"border=0>

I, as an aspiring artist, only hope to get as good as you someday! Did you have lessons? If not you are extremely gifted! I hope you are using your talents as a job, because I'd be the first to buy your portraits!

What are you people talking about, "book inspired"? Gandalf himself is Tolkien inspired, whether it's from the movie or not. Would you rather see a rendering of the dreadful Bakshee stuff? As a hobby-artist myself (meaning I don't do any work for sale), I see a great amount of talent and skill in that rendering. Even if it is directly from a movie still! Who cares? It's a very lovingly crafted pencil drawing. I see so much of Gandalf in just that one drawing.
Excellent job.

that is soooo good!!!!!! i can't draw like that! who cares if it is orgininal or not. StarwarsD you say this artist is skilled. but the drawing is not original. THAT IS NO EXCUSE TO POORLY RATE DRAWINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you rate drawings by how well the artist does, not how original the drawing is. if another artist drew a drawing and it was orginial but a baby could draw better and everyone hated it, you would give it a 5 and an artist who draws the best drawing in the world but it wasn't very original you would give it a 0? well....your name isn't very orginial. i mean, isn't that a book and movie? not to mention a whole trilogy of like 5 movies? well, then how would you rate your name? if your looking for originality then think about your name!!! practice what you preach.
for god's sake. this picture tells you all you want to know about gandalf JUST BY LOOKING AT HIS EYES!!! but i see that you acting so small minded just don't see that! also you just wanted to weigh down the average. you even say so yourself that this artist has talent. just rate it on that and keep your mouth shut about mean little things on how it isn't that great cuz it's not original. why don't you draw something "original" and see what we have to say about it!

Excellent work. Definately can see the fire in his eyes. This drawing makes me think of the section from TTT where Gandalf looks at Pippin after Pippin describes what happened when he looked into the palantir:
"Look at me!" said Gandalf.
Pippin looked up straight into his eyes. The wizard held his gaze for a moment in silence." (Book III/Chapter 11)
Excellent work. Hope to see more of your artwork.

Very good job on this. It isn't as realistic as the Boromir one, but I like it better, because there seems to be power radiating from his face, as well as light...
perhaps you noticed that in the movies (this picture, I believe, is movie-inspired) Gandalf almost always has the most benevolant expression on his face. In spite of the fact that in this picture he is not smiling, the benevolance is still there.
Wonderful, once again, and I can only, you must be a born artist.

well, weather it's not book inspired, it's still and amazing effort by the artist to capture (in a drawing no less) proper facial peatures and proportions (and I should know). The detail is amazing, it looks like I could reach out and touch his face. Even if I DIDN'T like the movie, even if I hated it, I'd still give this amazing artwork a 5!

I hate to repeat what everyone else said already, but this is incredible. I just wanted to vote on it, so it could stay in the top 5. In my opinion, it should be at the top of the list. It's kind of odd that it's being beaten by film stills, since people marked it low because it wasn't "original". Very odd. The eyes are the best part.

Of course she didn't do it with a computer. That piece is, most definately, hand drawn. It's a beautiful picture which really portrays Gandalf's gentleness and concern. 5!

Both of us being artists ourselves, we can spot a proper drawing from a computer generated image and this is most definately a drawing.

This is what I call a realistic drawing. It honestly looks like the real thing . . . the light in the eyes is precious.

if you ever stop drawing you will be depriving the world of some much needed talent and so if you care for the world at all then never stop.

nice picture

It's a great sketch, my friend. Beautiful even, that is, if you can call Gandalf beautiful. But, great all the same. I'll give you four thumbs up, though, I'm short on thumbs.
Good Job!

I see this were it belongs - the first page!
I love his eyes and eyebrows. Keep it up!
We mean what we say about trolling. It will not be tolerated. Any comment that has been deemed to be insulting and not keeping within the TOS of TORC has been dealt with. This is a warning to those of you who feel it necessary to be rude, and rate fine art low for your own malicious purposes...it will no longer be tolerated.
I, like everyone else who has commented on your drawing find it excellent, beautiful, mystifying, and a GREAT capture of the personality and spirit of Gandalf the Grey. However, I, personally, think the drawing would be better if there was more contrast between the white and the dark places. I mean I can see many actual white places where no pencil touched paper, but where is the black. The place where there is NO white? I think the drawing is marvellous and I'd give it a 5 everytime if it just had better contrast between white and black. I'm not trying to be rude, but I learned this very important technique from my own mistakes. Anyways, marvellous, once again. Keep it up!
Very Nice
As we all know there never is a wizard around when you need one... but this is definitely the best Gandalf fanart I've ever seen on the net. You get rating 5 from me and that is something I do rather rarely...
The light that reflects in his eyes is just done brilliantly. I always have problems keeping it to look so white and not rubbed out at the same time. Very well done!!! You can be proud of yourself!!!
I mean... we all can see how great this is can't we.
great job
great jopb you've won my admiration![]()

i sound like a goof, hands-down said that too
ok i finally noticed i dont take care
The picture is very realistic and the artist has drawn an interesting expression on Gandalf's face. I also like the twinkling in his eyes, it seems so lifelike. Good job!
love the eyes
it just amazes me that people can draw like that
GRANDPA IS THAT YOU? *SOB* I NEVER THOUGHT THAT I'D BE ABLE TO SEE YOU AGAIN. *SOB* IT'S AMAZING HOW TECHNOLOGY HAS ADVANCED IN THE YEARS YOU'VE BEEN AWAY. *SOB* IMAGINE TAKING A PICTURE OF YOU IN YOUR GRAVE. TOODALOO
