Description
Some old doodles I found.

Top row - corrupted Nulmiril, then paradoxically followed by Miri before corruption.

Middle - the earliest sketches of female dwarves that I have. This was done on that exact day I decided to figure out how to do Tolkien-canon dwarves (indistinguishable from men, quote at the bottom)

Bottom - sometimes I surprise myself and doodle a complete scene. That was it.

The quote from The War of the Jewels I am referring to:

"For the Naugrim have beards from the beginning of their lives, male and female alike; nor indeed can their womenkind be discerned by those of other race, be it in feature or in gait or in voice, nor in any wise save this: that they go not to war, and seldom save at direst need issue from their deep bowers and halls. It is said, also, that their womenkind are few, and that save their kings and chieftains few Dwarves ever wed; wherefore their race multiplied slowly and now is dwindling."
