Doodlin’
Sometimes ah try ma hand at a wee bit o’ drawin’… Ah’v always liked doin’ it but I’ve gotten a bit rusty lately.
A long while back I asked for some help – I prefer drawing people’s characters instead of random ones and needed a few screenshots. Hulan and the newly renamed Wolfrider obliged and since then I’ve been sketching on and off. It took me a few shots at each before I got something workable but it really did help – I’m getting at least a bit more confidant about drawing trolls now!
Female dwarves seem a little harder to draw – there’s a lot of subtle cues which I don’t think I got into the picture of Hulan – a lot of female dwarflyness shows when their whole body is visible as, then, their short stature is more apparent.
Wolfrider
Wolf – I know you gave me reference pics but I ended up ignoring them, slightly. I had been using them but then I noticed you’d dinged 70 and got yourself some spiffy season 1 gear and I just had to draw you in that! I hope you don’t mind – I really did have fun drawing those shoulders hehe… I sorta threw some monochrome colours at it as the lines themselves were a bit messy.
Hulan – I went for something really simple – just keeping the dress part of her outfit as, hey, she’s out having fun, right? I really love Hulan’s stories and I hate the fact I don’t feel I did her justice! I gave her right hand a little darker colour but I wasn sure how badly her burn showed so I didn’t want to make it too extreme. I managed to throw some colour on it because of it’s simplicity, though, so I hope I can be forgiven *grin*
I’m working on a page with the few wow-doodles I’ve done which I’m reasonably happy with, should go up over the next few days. Be gentle…

A long time ago, I did little sketches of things, but I’ve lost the confidence and what little skill I had now. Maybe I should have another go sometime. I like these pieces, hope we see some more sometime.
I love it!!! My drawing is on a par with most 3 year olds, I’m always very envious of someone who can draw :D I am really thrilled with the picture you’ve done of Hulan.
Those are fantastic drawings! If you don’t point out your weak areas, most people won’t notice anyway. No need to be so bashful. =p I might have missed the obvious, but do you have a gallery of your drawings up anywhere? Deviant Art, maybe?
Get that pencil picked up, Noobie! I took a long break from drawing and it felt so nice to come back to it – I wanna see some stuff from you ^_^
Hulan: <3 Glad you like it!
Beli: I’ve always been really self-conscious about my art as I’m good friends with some really good artists in real-life(tm). I don’t use DeviantArt as I never liked their policies and it always felt a bit big for little old me. I used to keep a sheezyart account but I sort of drifted from there, too, when it got to busy so it’s mostly quite old pieces. Most of my art, at the moment, lives only in my sketchbook :)
Oh dear. I’m speechless. You’re so… talented. And I’m not.
Is there anyway I could bribe you to draw me a header for my blog?
/beg
Anyway: looking forward to see your gallery!
You’re a lot better than you give yourself credit for. I’d really like to see more of your work in the future. ;)
That is really nice indeed. I wonder if you have ever tried drawing a Draenei Mage? If not, mail me and I will send you some screenies of mine.
Wow! Those are really good. You are so underselling yourself…
I absolutely love the troll one, but I’m not a big fan of the dwarf one, and I agree with you that it doesn’t seem very…dwarfy. Then again, I can’t draw at all, so what do I know?
You still doing any doodlings, Think I want one for my Dwarf too :)
