Now regarding the axe – there really are tons of different ways to go about drawing it.
In Eldest, dwarves – due to their thick bones, are able to undergo a medical procedure where metal knuckles are magically imbedded into their bones. This is the second book of Christopher Paolini’s Inheritance Trilogy, following the extremely popular first addition – Eragon. Mentioning the knuckles again, I got the inspiration for the circles from Eldest. And to help with this – I recommend you draw the knuckles first. It may help to sketch a few examples off to side before you go ahead and finalize it.īut before you draw the axe, the first thing to do is sketch in the hands of your cartoon dwarf.
This part’s pretty neat – as here, not only do you get to draw the axe… but you get to design it to look however you want. Next up, drawing ‘the grip’ – followed by the axe… Third Step – Draw Your Dwarf’s Hands so that He’s Gripping His Axe Besides, you can manipulate the size and shape of the axe in any way you choose. Again – avoiding the need to erase later, the space makes things easier. Planning ahead, I know that the back of his axe will cross over and in front of the horn later on. You’ll notice that on his left helmet horn (your right) – I left a small space where the orange triangle crosses over. In four phases, crafting the various parts of his helmet and face… here’s how my dwarf’s head takes shape… This way, when it comes to the underlying obstructed parts – parts of the face for example… things are a whole lot easier, and there’s little or no erasing needed.
In drawing the face of your dwarf, it helps to begin with outermost parts like the helmet, first. Actually – you may even want to go with another weapon altogether… a war hammer perhaps?Īlright then - got everything ready? Good stuff! Now let’s draw this dwarf… Second Step – Slowly Develop the Face of Your Cartoon Dwarf And with the axe… go ahead and make it longer if you like – or change the shape of the head to something different. To help get everything going, sketch out a simple arrangement of shapes to help maintain position of the various parts of your character.Īs always, feel free to add or omit parts you feel necessary. Looking at the image above, you can see this dwarf is positioned in a standing-yet-guarded position, ready to defend or attack with his giant axe.
