As usual, I wasn't happy with how the oil painting version of Arlen was going, so I turned to my old stand-by, colored pencils. Once I had built up several layers I took some solvent and brush to the waxy layers and blended away, creating some depth in the shadows. Still have his robe and sword to do but I thought I would post this photo.
