Red Book of Westmarch UPDATE (minor)

[Indy Magnoli]

I decided after seeing The Hobbit not to update my Red Book as any changes shown in this film basically conflicted with the prop in LOTR and wasn't really important in any case. But, one thing I wanted to add was the insert of the sketch of Bilbo. Instead of printing the photo readily available on-line, I decided to redraw the entire thing by hand (using the same dip pen-and-ink used for my Red Book prop itself). The end result is a much crisper rendition than I could have achieved using the on-line version.

The master took about an hour to draw. Not as clean as Daniel Reeve's original, but still a lot better than using a low-res photo of the original prop.

Kind regards,
Magnoli

Here is my updated LOTR display shelf... I think I need to dust!

Did you trace an outline first, or was that done free-hand from a blank piece of paper??

I used a light table.
