I edited him to move his knees up. Looks like the light was a bit different this time when I photographed him too.

I'm trying to improve my painting of faces and figures by doing a lot of paintings to work on my technique, so I decided to do a second version of my Orodreth painting.
I like this one better than Version 1 although now I look at it again, I think his knees should be further up! Must remember to work out position of knees more carefully.

and obviously he's wearing trousers, which didn't look right. But I'm not sure that the kneeboots he ended up with are right either.
I did a revised version with the knees further up, I think it looks better.
