Um, you said you drew this during class--were you sitting next to the Two Towers poster? I'm honestly not trying to be rude--look: http://elflady.com/legolasgreenleaf/films/lotr/publicity/pages/ea_ttt_01.htm. I noticed that he had no arrow nocked to his bow, despite it being pulled back, and I knew the image was familiar so I went searching.

There's nothing wrong with copying from photos and publicity stills, I just think you should credit when you do. Trying to recreate a picture is a completely different animal than trying to create your own; people give different crits when they know you're working off a reference image.
