How To Draw Fantasy Creatures

How To Draw Fantasy Creatures

Drawing fantasy creatures is an imaginative concept and a fun drawing process to get into as the limits to anyone's imagination are limitless as there are infinite design possibilities for drawing your own fantasy creatures as most fantasy creatures can be created from combinations of animals and have successfully been inspired and created this way in the past through well known fantasy creatures such as dragons.




Exaggeration of the human form and indeed combining with animal forms create some interesting creature designs and the more you practice at sketching out these concept creature creations then you'll learn to draw some fantastically original creatures of fantasy more often.

Existing creatures from Greek mythology are inspiring for your own creature drawings like Medusa, a half woman and half serpent with snakes for hair.

Ways to get inspired

Try and write a small paragraph that describes what your creature could look like, an example could be:-

"A fat, hairy creature with huge arms and small legs with spiky armour and holding a huge club to batter someone with, also wearing huge boots and the creature has huge horns that twist behind it's fat head."

I find that written descriptions work very well as you can imagine exactly what you write.

Watch the video to see how I start to draw a fantasy creature, I haven't used my written example though as I've started from scratch.
