I have always liked gnomes, or elfs or small versions of Santa Clauses for some reason. Even since I was a child I have (at christmas time) taken my pencils and drawn small santas roaming around in a large christmas tree, playing around. This picture is nowhere like those I made when I was a child - a more serious attemt of making a 'personal' gnome. I like him... especially his beady eyes. Hope you do too.

That's sooo cute... oh, he reminds me of my grandpa, and i loved my grandpa, so i love, love, love this pic!!!!! the shading is perfect, and...and....how do make eyes like that? I'm not able to make eyes like that! i just adore the whole layout, the expression, his eyes (are so kind), and the fact that his sitting on a mushroom!

You certainly have a talent for putting expression into your characters. I found this gnome very warm and friendly yet rough around the edges. True gnome style! Love to feature it and you in a World Wide Gnome Association Newsletter!
