| Worksheet How to Draw a Toll. |
To see more projects search the list in the sidebar.
This lesson combines fantasy character drawing with storytelling. The story is in the expression, body position and the props; the props are the boxes of soap he is holding and the bubble bath behind the troll. The story of the picture is in a world, many young artists are content to draw their characters floating on a white page, but here they are encouraged to create an entire world illustrated by the forest.
The worksheet is limited to the character; the scene and story is left to the student.
It is easy to draw the troll using the jointed stick figure method. Make a stick figure like a skeleton. Draw circles for the joints like knees, elbows, hips, etc. You will erase some of this later, so draw lightly. You will draw the body around the stick figure.
Make the arms long and the legs short. Draw a series of ovals for the muscles. Draw the fingers like a skeleton hand at first, then draw the fingers around the lines.
His face is like a pig; the eyes are higher than normal. The nose is a half-circle with two lines up and down. The mouth is a straight line with a shadow line underneath it. He has two tusks going up. His ears are pointed.
His belly is fat and hangs over his shorts. Don't forget the belly button.
I like to give my characters a world to live in and not just draw them on a page. It is best to make the picture say something like telling a story. My illustration of the troll tells a little humorous story. Can you figure it out?
