Hunting For Treasuresby ~Angelstorm-82

Fan Art / Traditional Art / Drawings / Games

My original Fan art of Tomb Raider Underworld (I love this game). Entirely done with graphite pencils on A2 Hahnemühle Nostalgie sketchpaper. Please be sure to hit the full view button to enjoy the entire drawing

. To draw the vegetation was a very hard and exhausting part. The temples were really fun to draw.

I took several references for this drawing. First was the background which I took almost entirely from the game but changed it a bit here and there. I changed also Lara a bit. I used a reference with friendly permission from

I used it especially for her suit. For her weapon on her back I used a reference which I´ve found in the net.

The stats:

Time approx. three weeks

A2 hahnemüle sketchpaper with 190 gsm

Regular and mechanical pencils

A brush a tissue and some q-tips for blending (Lara and the sky)

First of all I want to say that I'm a Tomb Raider Fan from the very beginning on, therefore I know which atmosphere's to find in the games and what the "world" within the games look (and feel) like.

Of all those lovely details I love the trees everywhere and the birds in the left upper corner the most.
I personally hate drawing twigs etc because they're so difficult to shade. Take a look at the trees in this drawing and you'll see bark!

I like the blending from background (sky) to middle ground (mountains), it supports the misty rainforest look very well, which you can't have in the foreground.
The brightness of the sky makes the darker parts of this drawing firm and "touchable".

When you look at this beautiful scenario, you notice Lara, but you first look over her shoulders at this amazing landscape with your eyes moving from every realistic detail to detail. The birds make this drawing even more realistic! Then you look at Lara and find even more lovely details.
The artist gave Lara a very good 3D-look with the shading.
