The Hearthside Dwarf Scholar

A wise old dwarf rests by a roaring hearth, snug on a low stone seat. His long beard splits into tidy braids that swing over his robe, and soft smoke loops from his little pipe. He leans toward a book spread wide on the floor, its pages full of chunky runes and a diamond mark. A tall stack of heavy tomes waits beside him, each cover edged with knot patterns.

The fire pops and throws bouncy shapes on the brick arch while neat logs glow inside. He squints with a calm smile, thinking hard about the story lines and the puzzles they tell. Big sleeves drape over his arms, leaving smooth spaces to fill with color, and the stones add square shapes to shade. Everything feels warm and quiet, like story time in a mountain home.

Fun Fact!

The movie "Willow" features two "Brownies" who are small, humorous beings, but the main warrior hero is a dwarf named Madmartigan. (Wait, Madmartigan is human. This is a bad fact.)

Coloring Tips

  1. 1 Blend orange, yellow, and red in the flames from bottom to top for a glowing fire.
  2. 2 Shade the stone arch with layers of gray, leaving tiny white gaps for sparkly highlights.
  3. 3 Add streaks of lighter brown to the beard braids to make the twists look thick and shiny.
  4. 4 Trace the runes with a bold color, then lightly shadow the page edges to make the books look heavy.
