lord of the rings - Which of his races did Tolkien draw?

This question isn't as broad as it might appear at first glance. I've seen drawings of dragons, Dwarves, Trolls, and Hobbits by Tolkien, and I'm primarily interested in only a few other races. He was a prolific writer and artist, but he seems to have shied away from making too many illustrations featuring animals or people. Perhaps the only imagine along these lines that I have been able to find are these:



The Dragon Glaurung.

Smaug and Bilbo.

More Smaug.

Even more Smaug.

Bill, Tom, and Bert, the Trolls, with Bilbo hiding in a bush (left background), a bunch of Dwarves in sacks (left foreground), and Gandalf casting a spell (right).

Bill, Tom, and Bert again, with a Dwarf in the foreground.

Bilbo at home.

The races I am most interested in seeing are as follows:



  • Orcs


  • Ents


  • Elves


  • Wargs


These are the races/species I am most interested in seeing, although I certainly won't complain if you find pictures of other races/species.



Did Tolkien ever draw any of these creatures and races?
