Description
These little guys weren't a bad exercise. Still, markers are a bit clumsy, and I'm much happier with the way you can play with opacity in digital coloring.Related content

Always great to use traditional mediums being used

I really, *really* want to figure this out. Terryl Whitlatch (yes, I know I'm doing too much idol worship) gets such kickass results with marker, and two of the artists I really admire, Tom Fowler and Vinod Rams, work traditionally (in watercolor and gouache respectively).

Asa with all art, it comes down to one basic thing: practice. Lots and lots of practice. My best friend ~MarJak is an Old School artist, does all his main work in pencil, pens, and for colours uses markers and pencil crayons. Absolute genius.
Check out his gallery and you'll see what I mean

a dwarven lock smith? and a halfling match stick seller?

I think the marker colors work just fine. I love the range of colors on her pants. In many ways I prefer traditional to digital in that traditional has more life to it, and maybe those little imperfections contribute.

The male makes for an awesome dwarven rogue; the female, given her pointed ears, I'd ditch her boots (replacing them with largish, hair-topped feet) and sell her as a hobbit-esque halfling. Of course, I love such halflings, so my view is more than a little biased.

The colors aren't bad at all (far better than I could do with markers or a computer-- thank goodness I take gallbladders out for a living), but the lines are great. I think body proportions for dwarves/gnomes/halflings are something that few artists on here do well. You, though, certainly pulled it off nicely.

Thanks! I've been trying to make a few improvements lately and I really hope it shows!
