AquaBord - Maglor and Uldor in progress (Patreon)

No strings attached on this one! =O 

This is my first no-holds-barred piece since... 2004, at least where complex scenes are concerned. Everything else was always drawn on different paper than the final painting. 

To make sure I'd keep the proportions and composition of the sketch (which grew a bit to be more than just the two of them), I used transfer paper to transfer my sketch onto the board. 

The transfer paper only yields rather thin lines and is mainly to get the proportions and composition over intact:

Next, I started the clean lineart on the board, detailing the rough transfer sketch. Well, as clean as it gets. True enough, drawing on AquaBord feels like drawing on wallpaper. ... Woodchip wallpaper. 

Aaaand another new Patron! Hello, Alice! =)
