As mentioned I continue with the drawings of "The Lord of the Rings" based on the sketches of the wonderful artist "Stjepan Sejic" take a look at his gallery where I got the reference for this drawing

In this drawing it is a frontal portrait, with the head slightly raised, so when I made the sketch with very simple lines giving a lot of space to the neck and representing the nose with a triangle to define the area of the nostrils, then I define more the sketch, showing more of the facial features, the shape of the hair and the folds of fabric, with this ready I begin to fill in starting with the right eye and surroundings.

For the skin I used the 3H pencil a lot, with light tones applied with the 2B, I used this pencil a lot for everything that is hair, mustache, beard and eyes, first I covered the right side of the face with tones, which is the most illuminated, the right side is in shadow so for the skin I used the HB pencil with a lot of 2B and with that same pencil I applied the tones that I could to complete all the hair and beard.

To mark the shadows I started to use the 3B pencil, and in this way I managed to capture depth to the entire head, then I begin to fill in the neck using the combination of 3H and HB pencils, and gently applying the 2B pencil I begin the light areas of the fabric folds.

I keep applying more pressure to get darker tones on the fabrics, but I also start using the 3B pencil for the darker areas and shadows, the brooch had to show a metallic appearance so I just used the 3H Pencil with it, finally I apply the 6B pencil in all the shades of the drawing to achieve greater contrast, depth and highlight the entire silhouette and contours, and thus finish the drawing.

I still have a long way to go to cover this wall of fanart drawings, I only have 67 more drawings to do, to achieve the first batch of more drawings ^_^.
