Often Beleg Strongbow came to Menegroth to seek him, and led him far afield, teaching him woodcraft and archery and (which he liked more) the handling of swords; but in crafts of making he had less skill, for he was slow to learn his own strength, and often marred what he made with some sudden stroke. In other matters also it seemed that fortune was unfriendly to him, so that often what he designed went awry, and what he desired he did not gain; neither did he win friendship easily, for he was not merry, and laughed seldom, and a shadow lay on his youth. Nonetheless he was held in love and esteem by those who knew him well, and he had honour as the fosterling of the King.
–J.R.R. Tolkien, The Children of Húrin, “Túrin in Doriath”

Sindarin Portraits pt2: Celeborn, Galathil, Mablung, and Beleg.
Here’s my chance to give Celeborn and Galathil some attention! There’s nothing much special about their designs other than being regular Doriath fashion XDD And since they’re close kin to Thingol, they have flower crowns!
Beleg and Mablung have similar colours due to being captains of Doriath. I neglected to include Mablung’s small braids and feather ornaments; if I ever draw him again, I’ll be sure to include those loll
