If I Were a Norn (Click to enlarge)
If I Were a Norn   Art   Spykkie | 4/6/2013  log in to like post  5

My original sketch's proportions were pretty off, but I didn't let that stop me. I fixed it, inked it and coloured it. I went through all sorts of colours for the hair. From violet to pure white. In the end I just used a washed out brown. I wish I could draw Norns in a more realistic style... Maybe I'll learn some day? For now, this is my best Norn drawing thus far.

Thank you C-rex! :)

@Magpie-angel: Good idea, I'll try that! :) I'll also try inspecting norn faces a bit more, maybe I can figure out what went wrong if I stare at them long enough.

hmm, maybe? Maybe they aren't big enough? :/

i think the face and the body is perfect but maybe its the eyes?

Getting the creatures style right is so difficult; I still have a ways to go myself... my norns always seem off somehow... :/
Maybe it's the face...? Hm...

Thank you, NornsOfOurAlbia. :) You and Zolah are definitely some of the best norn artists around, along side nornigrl ofcourse. You should all get a norn figure for supporting the franchise with your awesome fan art. :)

And yes, they are very difficult to draw... :(
They really are their own species in proportions and details... It's so difficult to get everything right! the slightest mistake can make them look more monkey then norn...ugh. :(

I really hope we're not all kiss-poped... that would really pull drink? XD

She's gorgeous, spykkie. Norns are really hard to draw for some strange reason, lslkhsfihjsbvskjbf! I think you *definitely* stand a chance of winning a Norn in the next contest. Unless there's only going to be one winner, in which case most of us are all kiss-popped, haha, er, sigh. (On a side note I think FC should have randomly given Zolah a Norn figurine for her Easter picture, yes!)

Thanks Laura :) *hug*
I guess it's true that an author it their own worst critic? I'm just not satisfied with the way I draw hands, toes and ears on a norn yet... Zolah does such a great job with ears, hers are just so full and cute! [heart]

Maybe I should ask the others for tips on how I could improve?
But with an art contest on the horizon, asking people's art secrets seem kind of wrong... :/
