Gandalf

Here is another painting that I epically failed at my ETA. These were supposed to be fast, well, relatively for me, like this Aragorn piece:


However, Gandalf here clocked in about 2 hours 30 minutes I think. Way too long. It is a bigger image though.

Had real difficulty with this. I can't colour white, and I couldnt get texture for the walls and the smoke. To be honest, once I finished the face, I lost interest, but kept going. His hair was hard too!

Anyway, I think I did a better likeliness on his face compared to my last piece.
