Chapter I: An Unexpected Party

Beginning my week of illustrations from the Hobbit, when Gandalf visits Bilbo Baggins to propose an adventure to the Lonely Mountain, home of Smaug the Dragon. 

Next week is...

Every day next week I'll be uploading a black and white illustration from The Hobbit (seven in total). This is a personal project to boost my black and white portfolio while illustrating what I believe to be my favourite book. It was a really fun project to work on and a different sort of challenge. The Journey begins on Monday right after second breakfast.
