Fantasy Drawings

Here are some fantasy drawings that will take you on a tour through fantasy land!

Just follow the path of your imagination when you see these fairyland drawings to get ideas to create more of your own.

You'll have to stay alert to make sure you don't miss any of those little sprites dancing around. Oh, and be sure to duck when anything happens to fly past or over you!

Don't you just love make-believe?

Initially, I will be doing very simple fantasy sketches in pencil and you can find various fairies, elves, pixies and dragon drawings via the links at the top of the right-side column.

Progressively, I can add more detailed black and white fantasy drawings as I continue practicing drawing from my imagination (it's a work in progress).

Fables, Legends and Myths

Fantasies are defined as stories that happen in an imaginary land. I think we all carry a little bit of our childhood with us when we remember the mystical magic of fantasy land.

Fairy tales are a result of someone's fantasy because they are generally too good or too bad to be true! When you daydream, you are creating your very own fantasy.

I often imagine what kind of fantasy picture I would draw and, for some reason, I always envisage a castle to be a part of the drawing.

Castles and dragons go hand in hand in my Fantasy land. What do you like to see in yours?

I have done some other castle drawings if you want to take a look.

When I think back on medieval times, it seems to be shrouded in fantasy or mystery.

If you were asked to draw fantasy, what's the first thing that springs to your mind?

It's a good idea to write your ideas down so you can implement them in future sketches. It is amazing how fast ideas can come and go from our minds!

The Mystery Of Fantasy

I think more mystery is added to the picture when you do fantasy drawings in simple black and white. That's personal opinion, of course, I am addicted to pencil drawing so don't mind me.

Add a few squiggles here and there to give the appearance of objects or trees. Experiment with your pencil. This is where the fun comes in and it doesn't have to be exact.

These sketches were done quickly but it is such fun working out what to put in the picture and how to draw the dragon.

I decided to draw a fairly bleak landscape for this picture. The dragon would scare anyone or anything away! The birds have decided not to hang around as well.

All of these drawings were created in my first year of drawing and while they are not fantastic, it shows you that anything is possible if you just try!

I used a mechanical pencil on each of these drawings and I always used photocopy paper so I didn't have to worry about ruining a good sketchbook.
