How to Draw a Gnome

Hello, dear readers! Today we’ll show you how to draw a gnome (of a dwarf)! Many people know these fabulous creatures, presenting their appearance in accordance with the appearance of dwarfs from the movie “The Lord of the Rings.”

Let’s start with a stikman – man, made of sticks and circles, by which we denote the basic proportions of the figure of our character, as well as its position on the sheet of paper.

Naturally, the deviation from the normal, human proportions is going to be very significant (for example, the growth of the average human is the sum of the lengths of 7.5-8 its heads, but the growth of our gnome is about 2.3 heads). So, don’t make the body too long. Using a circle draw the head, and using lines draw the torso, arms and legs.

On the top of the head outline the contours of the cap. In the same step outline the beard by light lines – it is almost parallel to the lower line of the head.
