"I...Am Gandalf the Grey"
"its that wandering conjuror, Gandalf"
"Why did the valar send me here in this old man's body, prone to every mortal ache and pain?"
" It is not the strength of the body that matters, but the stregnth of the spirit."
(Random quotes about/from gandalf)
A rough draft for a painting i'm planning on doing, based on the book description of this old Istari.
This is a REALLY rough sketch, done as quickly as possible to get a bearing for the painting.

Not bad at all, I like how you've done the hat, really I've tried drawing hats at that angle before and they came out wonky so um, hat's off to you there (no pun intended
), I also like how you've done the facial features, especially the nose and despite it omits a few details an older character would have on their face, he sure does look old. Loving that beard too. Great work once again!!
