Dis Mourn Pencil1

I'm still feeling really out of it and shaky, so I thought I'd work on some sketches. I already messed up on this one... I started drawing to the Bristol in blue pencil, and ended up digging too hard into the paper (so hard to see the lines right now, and I need to buy new pencils). And... despite thinking I was careful, she's off-center. Oops! Oh well... I will need to transfer her to another sheet of Bristol to ink. I also changed her costume slightly. The version I had drawn didn't work so well for this pose -- too much covering details. I also chose to do the light jawline beard that many of the female dwaves designed for The Hobbit movie had. I had wanted to do a little more, but again... I didn't want everything all jumbled together right in the middle of the drawing, making it hard to see. As for what she's doing... I decided to imagine that Thrain's war hammer was all they found when he went missing, and they brought it back to her. She is leaning against it, crying. Drawn on 11x14 Bristol, sketched in blue pencil first, then with my drafting pencil. Scanned and adjusted to make the lines a little darker.
