Elf..very creative eh?
Elf..very creative eh? by @Nataile (Natalie "Natail" Gosselin)

Well, this is an elf. I drew her with a mechanical pencil and did some touch-ups with a 3B pencil. When I scanned her, I decided to load her into Photoshop and gave the drawing a orange/brown tint to it. She currently doesn't have a name, so any suggestions are welcome!

It's about time I give a comment for you, huh? ^^'

With mechanical pencil? Interesting... I've never actually thought of using those before. You do a very good job with them.

Nice shading and I like the texture it makes. Very original ears, I haven't seen ones like those on an elf before... and her hair. I love it!! Great definition on it. Her lips look a bit small, but perhaps she's puckering?

As for names, it looks like hers should start with an L, but I don't know what. I wish you luck in naming her.

Heehee, Thank you very much for the comment!

You should give mechanical pencils a try, they slways stay sharp and you can get lots of different kinds of leads for them!

As for the ears, I was getting tired of always having hte upright pointy ears on elves, so I did something different ^^

I like your style, it's very whimsical and the linework is impressive (mechanical pencils rock!). The hair in all of your pictures is amazing; the shading, the detail, the movement, the realism turning green with envy. You must have a great deal of patience. Unfortunately, I prolly can't help you much with names. Have you ever tried the LoTR elvish name translator? It's a website that I sometimes use for inspiration when I'm looking for names. Keep up the good work ^_^

Yay! someone who is a fan of mechanical pencils tooooo!! hoooray! I love to draw hair, so I'm glad you like it ^^. As for patience, I did this drawing in about an hour and a half, so no patience was needed. :)
