I like the metal effect too. Anne is a good artist and has shown her skill with colour too. Apart from a Frodo one, they all seem to be of Boromir. She ought to try some other characters.

Awesome pic!! To me inthe movie Borormir doesn't seem to have much outward expression. To me you have captured Boromir.

Thank you. Thank you so much. Amazing work! FANTASTIC. I don't care what the people say about his eyes. Sean Bean's eyes are quite dull in the movie so I care not what they look like in this sketch...if sketch it be.

The metal etc is incredibly detailed and seems not be a sketch, but check the cloak and bottom of pic, the detail isn't as sharp there so you can see it is a sketch. Wonderful job! To the artist : how big did you make the original to get that amount of detail in, or are you just really good at what you do

Just wanted to mention something.
i've just seen comments from you slating 2 other drawings from the movie because the artist didn't use their imagination then you praise this one and give it a "5" when it is exactly the same. A copy from the movie. Yes, it is of a less drawn character but you shouldn't rate stuff on the characters portrayed, thats not fair.
What you have done is considered trolling. As i've suffered the same trolling with my own pictures along with some other friends in here and know how bad it feels when people do this to you, we have decided to start reporting those who consistently troll in an unfair manner. I won't report you but I might change my mind if you get into a habit although one of the others might beat me to it. Regulars do notice this fairly quickly.
Please just try to be a bit more fair. I don't want to get at you. I'm asking you nice. I just hate to see stuff like this in here. It puts a lot of artists, like myself, off from submitting anything else.

I love the way you put "pencil sketch" on the title, how very modest of you.
I don't know what people are talking about "just a picture" it's fantastic!!!
He does have a very neutral expression but that just makes me think he's concealing something!

I thought it was a black and white photo at first until I noticed that the decription said "Pencil". This picture is truly awsome. I can't think of words to describe how incredible this picture is.

If it didn't say "pencil sketch," I probably would have mistook it as a photo. It is great. It looks so 3D. Good job ont he shading and details! It does look like a photo of the movei Boromir.

are you sure that that's a sketch?
soooo good

I can only say: I am blown away. When I look at this drawing, I feel Boromir looking at me; I can almost feel the burdens that he carries for his people. I can feel the pride that hides almot all traces of weariness caused by those burdens. That is a true work of art

wow. as fishy 0701 said, if it hadn't been labelled "pencil sketch" I would have mistaken it for a picture.
My jaw literally dropped when I saw it. It's incredible, I think the best picture I've seen on this site.
Great Work Anna!

I know I submitted a message earlier, but I have a question for you. What kind of pencils and paper do you use? Right now I'm only using regular everyday pencils and white printer paper to do my drawings on. Is there something better to use? If so could you please tell me? I'll come to check again later. Love your style and all your artwork! Truly superbe!
~Galadriel, the Golden One
P.S: This goes out to all you art fans-I just posted a picture a couple days back and would enjoy and appreciate your constuctive criticism and/or hints, tips and comments on how to make my artwork better. I'm on the second page of the fan art section. Look for: "Chantelle Cochrane: Elrond (pencil drawing)" Thanks everyone!

Why is this picture not #1?
Why is this picture not #1?
This is an exact copy of a black and white still of Sean Bean. An exact copy. If you put them side by side, you coudn't tell the difference. I know, because I have the same one on my drafting board as well, but I blew up the picture so I could just do the head. If you find the black and white photo, you will see that the expression in the eyes, every detail, is the same. So if someone says that there is no expression in his eyes, it's because there isn't any expression in the eyes in the photograph.
Galadriel Elanor: Get yourself a set of pencils, say 2b, 4b and 6B. I use a well sharpened 6B. I mean, well sharpened, so there is always a point on it. And you can just get drawing paper, medium, with a a little "tooth", but not too smooth. And draw BIG. Get a bigger sketch pad, not a little one, so you can see what you're doing. Go to an artist supply store and ask the clerks. They'll know.
Frodo is my love: Talent has nothing to do with it. Any artist will tell you that, including a friend of mine who has been a professional illustrator for 30 years. It just has to do with seeing, drawing shapes, and understanding values. If you find the right set of art classes, you too can do this!!! It just takes engaging certain parts of your brain, and disengaging the parts that say, "I can't do this."
This is a superb example of technical expertise.

Very good pencil work but a simple copy of a photo doesn't make the best art. And it certainly doesn’t have to involve artistic talent, rather technical skill.

This is an absolutely wonderful piece of art. I am most handy myself with pencil drawings, and I take special pride in transferring actual photos into my own drawn art. Bravo!

The only negative comment i've seen is that it isn't creative enough, because its just a copy of a photo, but i disagree. Copy is exactly what the artist was trying to do, and did she ever! Its not as if she was attempting to be creative and failed; you must judge it on the artist's intent. My first thought was that it was a photo and not a drawing at all. The shading is incredible, and the metal looks so real, so detailed. I love it.

No nothing else matters apart from to be able to do this you have to be able to concentrate and have a good eye for detail, I thought this was damn good, as getting such a likeness to the character in question is a very tricky thing to do. Alot of the drawings are very close, but I always look at them and think there is something just not right with them...this one was different however. Sean Bean has always been my fave actor and he is captured here to a tee, simple really. Well done Anna.

The picture is just great. When I look at it, it seems to me, that Boromir is deep in thought, on things, I can't see. You should try the same with faramir.
and for anan who gave 0 without comment. A little Word on the why wouldn't have hurt, would they?

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.
WOW
I can't believe this is a SKETCH! it's AMAZINGLY LIFE LIKE! Wowzers!
It looks just like a picture of old kings from my history book
The pose and the expression. Amazingly well done!
wonderful
Perfect.
This drawing is wonderfully drawn. I also like how well the dark values have been utilised.
Stunning! Im kinda anal about detail to wileywench so don't feel bad. ![]()

This is beautiful!
Arien
If I could draw one decent image of Boromir I would be soooo happy. You have done at least three and they are great. Good job.
it looks like one of those old timey photographs!!
Wow, how do u find the patience to draw it in such detail?
Amazing.
Looks like he sat for a portrit... Awesome!
What talent, I wish I could be as accurate as that with pencil drawing, I strive to be that good!! This is amazing, what a brilliant technique, must have taken ages. Takes your breathe away. Looks as if its a black and white photograph, so very real, only when you look close enough can you see its an illustration. WOW!! Anna you are an excellent artist and you will indeed go far. As well as it being a top rate illustration, the fact that it's a picture of Sean Bean makes it cool also. EXCELLENT!!!!
That's absolutely gorgeous! Just perfect! *sighs* Just beautiful!
Wow, that is really good!! It looks zo real!!
Cooool
Aryel
He looks really good, you have an amazing attention to detail... but I think his chin is too big.

. . .by far the most exquisite thing I've ever seen! Are you selling prints, by any chance?
O, my stars!
I really like this, but something's slightly wrong. I can't put my finger on it, though. You have real talent! Keep it up!
If you can't put your finger on it then the rating should be non rated. LadyCoralie
This is like the best pencil sketch in the whole world!!!!!!
This artist is extremely accurate and detailed. However, there is something about Boromir's face that is slightly off, compared to her other drawings. This is just to add a tiny piece of criticism. Overall an amazing picture.
Amazing - I'm in awe of people who can draw like this! Thanks for sharing! I agree there is something slightly off about Boromir's face, but it's still brilliant.
INCREADIBLEY REAL!! I LOVE it! It is by far probably the best likeness to Boromir that I've ever seen. I'm in awe and speechless. Great job! Keep drawing!
God Bless!!
"*Lirinen*"
WOW! I'm totally speachless! It looks so real! GREAT JOB!! Keep up the good work!![]()

WOW! This pencil drawing is simply amazing! Boromir looks so real, it almost looks like a photograph more than a pencil drawing! It just doesn't get anymore perfect than this! Congragulations to the talented artist who drew this incredible masterpiece!

It's so outstandingly well done!!!
This is incredible - how do u do it? I wish i could draw like that
That is absolutely beautiful!
awesome............words can't express how amazed i am
This is a wonderful drawing! I'm speechless.
This artist has paid an amazing amount of attention to detail. I have drawn several pencil drawings over the past several years, and I could never come near her standard of work. Keep it up. I hope to see more of your work in the future!
Let me just take a moment and reiterate the expressions used here. Wow. Wonderful. Incredible. Terrific. The detail is amazing. I tried to draw something similar just to see what would happen and I basically turned out a stick-man with a shield and sword and micky mouse hands. This is some serious talent.
I forgot to rate it! 5!!
ok, that has GOT to be a photograph. But it isn't!! taht is really, really, incredible, so much taht i really do not know how to describe it!
wow
I continued to gape at your remarkable skill as an artist. So detailed and so beautiful!
How come this isn't number 1?thats the only thing that dissapoints me ![]()
i would give it a ten!! if not a twenty! beautiful! beau! hermoso!! belle!! i cant say anything else, im in awe!
prefect picture
I don't know what to say, it's amazing, he looks so handsome, and the materials are like mithril . He really looks like the good person he was before he was tempted by the ring .
It 's been a long time since I first saw this pic here, and it's even hanging on my wall now, it's so good.
It definitly deserves another five!
Just look at the detail on this thing!!!
The doesn't look like pencil at all. I love the detail and the shading. Wonderful job and thanks for sharing it with us!
Cheers!

OH MY GOSH-
wow- this is absolutly amazing- i love the shading! The picture really looks alive- man i wish i could draw like that!
wow--thats the best drawing i've seen on this site! great job!
WOW!!!!!! ![]()
that is SOOOO good!!! it makes me wanna draw (not that i CAN
), but that is such a great drawing. and he looks really good too. ![]()
. couldnt help saying it- its TRUE!!
. BEAUTIFUL!!
lol I'm in disbelief! It is too good, it looks like a photograph!
excellent job man, that is AWESOME!
This drawing is very good. and to be critical if it looks exactly like him or not is kinda silly b/c we all know art is an artist's interpretation of something they see in life. i really like it. i think you did a great job of paying attention to light and shade more than detail, of course its deatiled looking and lovely but when you look at shapes of light and shade rather than looking at individual features or details it really turns out lovely. i think you did a great job with adding detail but just enough detail to get the point across. great job
itz good! i cant believe it got 6 fours! itz too perfect!
This is the best boromir that i have ever seen , drawn out i mean!!!
Out of a scale of 10 I'd give it the highest number in the world, that's the best drawing I've ever seen!
man i love borimir ( not the "love" way but hes cool. omg i totaly cried when he dies in fellowship of the ring. i watch it all the time and i always feel so bad.
wow i wish i could draw like that, it's really good. keep it up.
wow
a great peice of work its great well done
Truly impressive pencilwork.
Rest now son of gondor...
what can i say?

Poor old Boromir . . . just looking at it makes me sad, it's so good. I wanna draw like that!
I have look at this many times without commenting but it just looks better everytime I see it. This is one of the best.
It looks like a portrait that Aragorn might put on a wall in his castle in Minas Tirith.
It's VERY hard to believe that's pencil!!!
Great!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Keep smiling
Excellent shading and detail. Some parts are kind of fuzzeled and the face seems a tad off but other than that ok.
Man, Anna's pictures are really amazing. Just in case you guys were wondering, here is her website: http://www.annabaldassarre.it/
Please go to it and look around.
I'm really impressed by this sketch. You're very talented. I wish I was artistically inclined.
you are good...no, you are great...no wait, YOU ARE GIFTED! And don't you forget it!!! This is amazing... I love Boromir. Don't you?
I only wish I saw it when you first submited it. *sigh* oh well.
*hugs* Great job, keep it up...it deserves MUCH better than a five.
WOW! this is a MASTERPIECE! you are so great and TALENTED! it looks EXACTLY like him, i found a black and white picture and it looked exactly like that, but it wasn't a drawing! kudos to anymore that you may put up and i dont see!
This is undoubtably a great drawing...accurate, detailed, inspired. However, is this how we all envision Boromir now? Does anyone remember what he looked like the first time we read of his perishing at Amon Hen? I remember his regret and weakness, the triumph of his redemption in fighting 'till the last.
This is a great prortrait, but it is a portrait of Sean Bean...not Boromir. Perhaps I'm opinionated. But I can't allow the film versions of this tale obscure my personal experience with the books.
This is absolutely stunning! I especially appreciate the use of dark values which I have stressed to my students. Keep it up!
Okay,GaladhRemmin, so it's Sean Bean (love that name. Sorry) But it's still wonderful . . . messy hair and all! snerk. Okay, a five to ya!

Or if you know the name of the author, or even any of the characters. PLEASE!!!
Are you a human camera? This piece is flawless! I was almost certain it was a photo when I first looked at it.
Simply perfect!
Keep them coming!
Almost like a death picture...
boromeir could not change his way
he was bound to the ring...
It is perfect, and very detailed and lifelike. However, maybe it's just me because I always scorned Boromir's personality, but it doesn't have much emotion. I don't think it's got that spark of magic. But since it IS very good nonetheless, I'll give it a four. The artist has a great eye for detail and shape.
WHOA...WHOA...WHOA! OMG!! u're so talented!! (^^);;
I love your sketch. You are very gifted. I love drawing, but I'll never be that good!
I can't believe it is a drawing! I think it look EXACTLY like a picture. You did an excellent job. Ever thought of selling your work?
I am amazed that you could do that. I wish I could draw that well. Keep drawing!!!!
This is positivly one of the best Boromir pictures I've ever seen!
Are you sure it isn't a picture edited in like.......a photoshop or something. Oh well. Beautiful job!
WOW!!! Are you completly sure you didn't just take a photograph and enhance it a little? My artistry talents may be good, but nothing compares to this. Keep working at it!
What on earth can I say that no one else has already said? This is < insert most flattering adjective thinkable> !!!
Unbelievable.
The Rangers of Greece salute you.
Keep up the good job.
I love the picture it is very very good!
it inspired a fanfiction story of mine called brothers in arms i hope it does this fine picture justice!
P.S. Anna Baldassarre lovely name! i hope you read my story when it gets published and i hope evewn more that you enjoy it as Boromir is one of my favorite charachters
Dawi's comment may have been years ago, but I feel as if I must say this: let me give you a quote from one of the greatest artists known to man:
"The most praiseworthy form of painting is the one that most resembles what it imitates." -Leonardo Da Vinci.
(If Anna's drawing is not art, then Da Vinci's certainly wasn't.)
Other than that, this sketch is phenomenal. I find it hard to think anybody can accurately draw LEATHER. I can almost smell the leather when I look at it. Truly overwhelming.
I am in need of a bib!!! DROOLING!!!!
.
Shh!
Dude, I admire you. Boromir, next to Fingolfin and a few others, ranks as my favorite person in LOTR. My respect goes out to you.
This is sooo good! Wow! Im not even half as good as you! high five for that!
Wow, this is an amazing piece!
5 out of 5 my dear, you earned it with this one.
: ) -J
this is fantastic!!! draw somemore!! i'm glad you drew him! because i love him (not love love but you know) and in the Fellowship of the Ring credits i just saw that he was a "feature"!! it said "featuring -Sean Bean" i was like....WHAT!!!! HE'S IN THE FELLOWSHIP!!!! HE'S AWESOME!! ok....glad i got that out of me!! good job!!
Wow. I love it! At first glance I thought it was a black&white photograph, but on closer look I saw the amazing detail. The look on his face is so intense!

I have never seen anyone on earth or middle earth draw a pencil sketch like that. It is amazing (for loss of better word). I thought it was a photo taken, but it is not. I will stop here least I go on forever about it.
WOW!!!! THat is the most amazing thing I have ever seen. I only WISH I could draw like that. You rock!
Painfully, I have officially abandoned Tolkien Online, due to matters which are best left unsaid.
For those of you who enjoyed my writing, I beg your forgiveness and understanding. Writing fanfictions holds no pleasure for me anymore. I have not, however, given up the arts, as at the current time in my life they seem to be the only hope I have of a future. Thanks to my good friend, I have come to discover www.deviantart.com, and through it, a new obsession and passion for art in almost every form. Coming particularly to the for are photography and photomanipulations. I still write poetry and stories, however, which I will begin to submit with increasing regularity. I do hope that if any of you should be in need of contacting me, you will come and find me at dragonstella.deviantart.com OR email me at stella_wisha@yahoo.com (although you may wish to be sure to put in a subject such as "from a tolkienonliner" as I get a lot of spam)
Several months back, I left Tolkien Online out of frustration and anger. Now I once again say goodbye, and it is only that: goodbye. The same kind of goodbye one says to fourth grade when moving up to fifth, or to being 14 when turning 15.
Cordially, and forever, yours.
