Doodling Dwarfs

[tealin]

I recognise that I have ONE [1] way of drawing Dwarfs. This is a disability. Luckily it can be remedied. Inspired by the best dwarf designs EVER in Happily N'Ever After (which is actually finally coming out next year) I decided to poke around and mix things up a little.


This one comes with a few doodles from my sister. They're near the bottom – you can tell which ones they are because they're more interesting. And there's a crazy otter.

And Goodmountain giving William a word (very stiff drawing, bleh) ...


Thank you, disneyboy, for your Assignment! Now the challenge will be not working on it while I'm supposed to be working on other things. Heh.

SO many beards!! xD Good job with them though, I really like them :D They're all different and unique, and the noses are love <3

Those are AWESOME.

If you draw Cheery, I'll love you forever. Just so you know. For future reference. I'm not begging or anything.

Awesome dwarfs!

Yay for dwarves, they can beat any skinny elf! I love the work you did with them :)

Beautful dwarves! You do a great job of making them look 'right'; a lot of people seem to have a hard time drawing them because you can't use the normal proportions/ratio but you do it wonderfully!

Cool Dwarves! I wouldn't say that *****'s dwarves are more interesting, but her style is recognizably different than yours (and the otter is funny!)
Oops! I feel like I've done you a disservice by setting you on a path (even if it seems like you were itching to get onto anyway) too late for you to have made some real progress by now, but too early to have the time to really dive into it yet! I guess I'm hoping that you'll be turning it over in your head whenever your work doesn't demand too much of your brainpower, so you'll be that much more prepared when you do have the time - and who knows? Maybe a moment devoted to it here and there will make the more mundane tasks more bearable! Anyway, I have complete faith in your steely self-control to not allow it to interfere with your job. (feel free, however, to put off cleaning, personal hygiene, email, favors for friends, etc. - you can do all that stuff later; this is far more important than any of those things!) :)

I was going to say, "You should draw a female dwarf," but then I remembered that in Discworld dwarves of both genders are outwardly indistinguishable, and are both referred to as "he" (interesting concept, that; I rather like it). Does that make you wonder, of Goodmountain and his fiance--whose name I can't remember at the moment--which one of them is female? Because it certainly makes me wonder.

And about the drawing of Goodmountain and William--it is a bit stiff, but I think the stiffness works, in a way. It makes them look kind of tense. I think maybe if their heads were cocked towards each other a bit more, it might make it even better (just an opinion, of course :)). Oh, and I like the design for Goodmountain.

I thought I spotted a Gimli there! (just kidding!)

'S awesome though how you managed to get so much out of a helmet-and-beard combo! ^__^ ♥
