I'm done (´◡`) I felt like pouring my heart out painting this but I managed to finish it somehow.
This is a rollercoaster of emotion and skill sets. The most memorable moment was when I realized how much I had to study to be able to paint it and I have improved 😌

Young Thranduil. Probably in Doriath. Probably in love...

Also, one ask based on your last answered one:
How big was Thranduil's friend group back in Doriath? Like we know he was friend's with Luthien and obviously Ferdan, as I think Beleg was mentioned as hanging around them once or twice, but was there anyone else?
And did any of them survive til the end of the fourth age, or they died in some war/life drifted them apart as time went on?
I think that the group of people that Thranduil was FRIENDLY with was quite large when he was still living in Doriath. Much larger than anyone who met him in the third or second age could easily believe. I think that he was on good terms and friendly terms with most of the “”younger”” elves living in Menegroth that he came into regular contact with. Generally speaking, Thranduil was easier to get along with back then, as long as you weren’t trying to tell him what to do you were probably fine. His good naturedness and kindness was a lot more open to the world back then, rather than something that he kept guarded away and sometimes all but denied its existence. He just wanted to have fun and explore with those who also wanted those things. 
He wasn’t just there for the vibes, Thranduil WAS the vibes. And others wanted to enjoy those vibes, but he didn’t really strongly care if they were there or not. He was doing his thing either way, probably with his partner in crime. 
However, there were still very, very few elves that Thranduil considered to be real, actual, genuine friends of his that he would trust with anything important or private. I think he probably always had around 2 or 3 friends, likely fellow warriors, but always had a best friend that he spent most of his time with. First Luthian and then Ferdan after she passed away. 
I think that Beleg was somewhere in between being real friends with him and being friendly with him for the simple reason that he was Thingol’s Chief Marchwarden and was therefore obligated to report certain shenanigans. So while Thranduil enjoyed his company greatly, he could not be trusted with The Shenanigans under any circumstances. 
Other than Ferdan and Celeborn (does he count as a friend if they’re related?) In my little universe, Thranduil only has one other friend from Doriath that made it through everything to the fourth age without dying or losing touch. His name is Maedir, he and Thranduil went through their training together and became friends and remained as such. He’s Ferdan’s right hand man when it comes to training new recruits for Greenwood.

Thoughtful Gifts
Here's a little Thranduil drabble for Christmas
The elfling ran through the trees of Doriath so quickly he did not even notice one of his friends who called out to him as he passed by. All his attention was focused on reaching the potter’s cottage. They would be ready today, just in time for the mid-Winter festivities. He had worked very hard and could hardly wait another minute more to see the finished products. “Good morning Thranduil” the potter said as he opened the door to see the rosy-cheeked lad. “Are they ready?” was all he could say as he followed the tall elf inside and into a room full of shelves. “Indeed they are” he said happily as he pointed to a table against the wall upon which sat a large mug and bowl. With the potter’s help, Thranduil had made these gifts for his parents. “They are perfect” he said inspecting them. He picked up the mug and admired its hues of brown and green intermingled together just as the soil and trees do. The beech leaf design along the handle turned out especially well. Next, he picked up the bowl which was light blue, his mother’s favorite color, decorated with Niphredil blossoms. The potter wrapped them in linen and Thranduil tied a ribbon around each one. He carefully carried them home watching every step as if they were the most precious items in all Beleriand. Just before it was time for the family to leave and join the kingdom in celebration, Oropher gave his son a special gift. It was his first bow and arrow set. Thranduil thanked his parents and then ran to his room and came back holding a sack. “I have gifts for you both as well” he said happily as he put the sack down in his father’s chair by the fire. “I made this for you Nana.” “Thank you ionneg” she said a bit surprised as they had not expected gifts. “You made this?” his mother asked with wide eyes as she admired the beautiful bowl. “The potter helped but I did most of it myself. I thought it would be good for cooking” he said knowing how much his mother loved to bake and how much he loved eating her delicious cakes. “I could not have asked for a better gift” she said as she hugged him and her eyes teared up a bit as the thoughtful gesture from the son she loved so much. “Here is your gift Ada. I made it too.” “I cannot imagine what it might be” Oropher said as he untied the ribbon and unfolded the linen. “A mug!” he said happily as he looked it over. “Remember, when you said that you wished you had a big mug so you could have a proper size cup of tea?” the elfling said with a big, beaming smile. “I do. I did not know you were anywhere around when I said that.” “I was in the other room and I heard it so I made one for you” he said so proudly. Oropher set the mug down then picked up his son and gave him a kiss on the cheek and a warm hug. “I believe we have the most wonderful boy in all of Arda” he said to his wife who whole-heartedly agreed.

The Teachings of the Queen
Oropher, Melina & Thranduil (Tolkien universe)
TRSB slide #77
Here's my first TRSB (@tolkienrsb) entry, born from a headcanon I've always liked, which is that, judging from the Hobbit, it seems to me like a lot of the magic its put there by Thranduil. Well, what if it was Melian who taught him about it?
Also, papa Oropher is supervising but Melian's birds are harassing him (but it's all in good fun don't worry).
It was claimed by @hanneswrites who I can already tell is so talented despite having red but a bit of their story 😭❤️

Imagine being an artist at the court of Oropher and painting portraits of the royal family. One day Thranduil asks you for your self-portrait, because he wants to marry you and add it to the gallery.

Shout out to the people who make young Legolas headcanons/fanart/fanfic//other fanworks. Honestly the fandom doesn’t give enough attention to young Legolas or what it might’ve been like growing up in Mirkwood. Not to mention what was Thranduil like as a father? I love that people mostly portray him as a very loving father <3 anyway… baby Legolas!!!!!

Oropher: I’m not sure why everybody always infers that Thranduil being smarter than me is such a problem.
Oropher: Does it make it harder to parent him? Yes. 
Oropher: Does it make it next to impossible to contain him? Undoubtably, 
Oropher: Does trying to anticipate what his next great scheme keep me up at night? At least once a week. 
Oropher: Where was I going with this?
