Description
Aragorn and Legolas from Lord of the rings.♥
But everywhere he looked he saw the signs of war. The Misty Mountains were crawling like anthills: orcs were issuing out of a thousand holes. Under the boughs of Mirkwood there was deadly strife of Elves and Men and fell beasts. The land of the Beornings was aflame; a cloud was over Moria; smoke rose on the borders of Lórien.
Horsemen were galloping on the grass of Rohan; wolves poured from Isengard. From the havens of Harad ships of war put out to sea; and out of the East Men were moving endlessly: swordsmen, spearmen, bowmen upon horses, chariots of chieftains and laden wains. All the power of the Dark Lord was in motion. Then turning south again he beheld Minas Tirith. Far away it seemed, and beautiful: white-walled, many-towered, proud and fair upon its mountain-seat; its battlements glittered with steel, and its turrets were bright in many banners. Hope leaped in his heart. But against Minas Tirith was set another fortress, greater and more strong. Thither, eastward, unwilling his eye was drawn. It passed the ruined bridges of Osgiliath, the grinning gates of Minas Morgul, and the hauntet Mountains, and it looked upon Gorgoroth, the valley of terror in the Land of Mordor. Darkness lay there under the Sun. Fire glowed amid the smoke. Mount Doom was burning, and a great reek rising. Then at last his gaze was held: wall upon wall, battlement upon battlement, black, immeasurably strong, mountain of iron, gate of steel, tower of adamant, he saw it: Barad-dûr, Fortress of Sauron. All hope left him.

Sorry that this is so late!
So, first of all, I really like the scene you picked! You did a wonderful job with portraying Aragorn's and Legolas' emotions here.
You have a nice sense a light and shadow, and your overall shading is good. Aragorn's hair and beard are especially well done. Nevertheless it seems to me as if you kind of neglected certain parts of the picture - mostly the background, which is not shaded at all. I'd suggest adding at least basic shading there, instead of having just lines. Or could it be that you're not finished with this drawing yet? I also think that while your shading adds texture to your drawing, you should maybe consider smoothing it out a bit in certain places, like Legolas' coat for example, because it looks a tad to rough and uneven there.
I think you did a good job with the anatomy. I'm guessing you drew them based on the movie's actors? They look very much like them. The only thing noticed there is that Aragorn's eye should propably be located a tad more to the left, since it looks very sunken in the way it is now.
All in all, this is a very nice, albeit maybe not yet finished, drawing of Legolas and Aragorn! Keep it up!
PS: All of the above is only my own opinion, so you're free to disagree with everything I said of course!
