Fantasy Art

Drawing venom is a great character to draw and one that can be learnt to draw through a series of step by step quick lessons.

Drawing the grimreaper of death, a popular image which appears on tattoos and other fantasy media such as comics and fantasy art paintings.

how do you draw a grim reaper?, in simple steps that will help you draw to a plan of anything you put your mind to. The Grim Reaper is one iconic image and it’s up there with Skull art and Dragons, it is such an overused and also an ancient icon of death that it is fitting that we get to grips with drawing this dark reaper of death.

We know from elsewhere on the internet or that other artists have envisioned an image of a dark robed figure with skeletal features which resemble the passing of life and the shadowy figure holds a scythe for which to scour the lands for new souls who are about to pass over to the next life.

And it is this classic vision we can use to start as the basis of our grim reaper. We all know what the Grim Reaper looks like, so have that image in your mind.

We first want to sketch what we want to see and envision for our Grim Reaper, so a sketch is always on the cards for our first draft drawing, below we see a shape, a wire frame if you like of our intended reaper to visualize, we want to develop this further and we want to make this drawing our template to do better.

Fantasy castles are part of what makes fantasy worlds special and you can draw them anyway you want, I draw fantasy castles the way I have done for years on a crumbling old mountain that looks like it will fall down with the castle sitting at the top in a precarious position.

I realized I don’t think I’d ever change the way I tackle drawing a castle, it just looks kind of cool for a castle to be at the top of a mountain.

Here is another castle sketch that made it on to the tutorial step by step article:-

Drawing trolls can be fun, but they don’t necessarily have t be traditional trolls that others draw, take for instance my take on a troll, it looks more like an ogre with huge muscles, but it’s my drawing so I’ll cry if I want to.

It’s not a set in stone thing, just take whatever inspiration from what you can as that what counts more than being forced to draw in anyone elses way.

Here is a black line drawing of the troll that was in that tutorial to give you an idea of what processes were involed in this little project:-
