“In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: it was a hobbit-hole, and that means comfort.” - in The Hobbit by J. R. R. Tolkien

Estava com esta ideia na cabeça há quase três semanas. E quando decidi dedicar uma semana inteira aos livros do Tolkien, eu sabia que tinha que desenhar algo relacionado com O Senhor dos Anéis. E por isso desenhei uma casa Hobbit.

Comecei ontem à noite. A ideia era pintar durante o dia de hoje, com luz natural, para que pudesse filmar... Mas entusiasmei-me e comecei logo a usar a Liquid Masking Film, e depois com as Ecolines (aguarela líquida). Ao início tentei que as cores fossem menos vibrantes...
Há muito tempo que não usava Ecolines (anos!!) e este desenho relembrou-me o quanto as gosto de usar.

I've been with this idea in my head for almost three weeks. And when I decided to dedicate a full week to the books of Tolkien I knew that I wanted to draw something related with Lord of the Rings. And it had to be home, or my take on a hobbit hole.

I started it last night. I had the intentions to colour it today, with daylight, so I could record the process. But I got carried away and started to work with the liquid masking film, and then the Ecolines (liquid watercolour). At first I tried to keep the colours very light (has I always do) but I also end up with very colourful and bright colours. 
I hadn't used Ecolines for a long time (a few years to be more exact) and I miss them a lot.
