Drew this guide on how I draw short races like (mostly) gnomes and halflings for some events over on the D&D amino~ So as a note, when I’m saying “running out of time” up there that’s referring to the event deadline :P It took me longer to draw this than expected…
I should probably mention I draw a lot of gnomes shorter than the heights the 5e book gives. Veta, that I use as an example a lot is 85 cm or a little below 3 feet whereas the book says gnomes are normally 3-4 feet. This is good for demonstration purposes of how to draw short adult races, but I just wanted to note that only the two tallest gnomes in the lineup up there are in that 3-4 feet range, with the tallest being 115 cm or a little below 4. Your average gnome would probably go to the waist of the elf, same as the elf child on the last page~
I think this is the first tutorial I’ve made. I hope I managed to note the most essential stuff. Only very little is an actual step-by-step tutorial, it’s mostly an explanation with drawn examples, but I hope it can still help someone out there.
