Pencil sketch of Queen Melian and King Thingol! (Able to produce the most beautiful Child of Iluvatar? You bet.)

I’ve only drawn the two of them once before and I wasn’t totally happy with either of them. The only thing I really kept from my first try is Melian’s white eyelashes - they are my lifeblood, ugh, I love them. Her hair is an homage to scorpionhoney and luaen although they draw that beautiful Melian bouffant way better
