I've seen some (like ~75%) on Deviantart. I wanted to fave and comment how wonderful these really are but alas, im not a DA fan/member. :/ i love them all especially lil' hiccup trying to connect with the red death. you really are good with the ball point pen. real good. i've never really read the HTTYD books before and now i wanna! XD you are an amazing artist crownflame, and i just knew your avatar look familiar- ;D Thanks so much! I'm glad you do. YOU SHOULD READ THE BOOKS IT IS YOUR DUTY. XD Well, a lot of people find them too kidsy... I find they make up for it with a wonderful underlying maturity and wisdom. In any case, they make me want to draw, draw, draw.

HTTYD books are quite an experience. A few rips might be right at home. XD just remember, the illustrations are ESSENTIAL.

Well, clearly I'm an illustrator and understand that concept. XD Didn't really leap off from the illustrations for any of these doodles (given, they leave quite a lot to the imagination.)
But as an artist I kind of want to experience the works of other artists unabridged when I can. And given that the books are probably at LEAST 30% illustration, some of it very tightly woven into the story (such that I wonder how it even pops up in the audiobooks; I'll certainly have to check), it just seems like a large section to be missing out on.
Then again, there are a lot of people who don't like Cowell's stylistic-suck. I guess I can understand not liking the scribbles, especially all over nearly every page. XD I personally think she's a better illustrator than I'll ever be, though.

I have a hard time drawing Hiccup, too. It's always his eyes. His gorgeous forest green eyes...but I can draw Astrid easily. And Snotlout, even tho I had to do two drawings to get it right. I have so much HTTYD fan art, I made a book for it. I'll post some of my pics when I can.

His eyes are pretty complicated. His face in general, actually. I never get it perfectly right-- it has a profound complexity to it, derpy and awkward, yet also something very empathizable and noble and heroic and cute. His eyes (actually, they're blue in the books!) are very difficult, but it's not so much the inside of them as the outside. Framing them correctly is the hardest, because he has very heavy eyelids and very heavy eyebrows that sit pretty low to his eyes. He's also slightly cross-eyed! You can draw him all right without those things (which kind of go against a traditional aesthetic of "handsome"), but to draw him correctly at all, you need to acknowledge his imperfections. Actually, that's true of any of these characters. If you think of them as "pretty", you're off on the wrong foot from the start. /my philosophy Speaking of Hiccup's eyes being difficult to get right, this is a WIP:

I was actually talking about the shape of his eyes and the positions of the pupils. I usually just draw the movie versions of the characters.
