Wizard Drawings

Here are some easy wizard drawings which were done with pencil and shouldn't be too hard to copy. Of course, it depends how confident you are and what stage you are up to with your learning to draw experience.

I think if you want to start doing drawings of wizards, just drawing the top half of a wizard is a challenge enough to start with.

I was fairly happy with how this wizard pencil drawing turned out.

I must be improving, I didn't struggle as much with his face.

What do you expect to see in a wizard drawing?

I sat down and thought about what to include before I started on these drawings of wizards.

Hmmm, let's see, I need a drawing of a crystal ball.

Oh dear, it's not so easy to draw a perfect circle.

You can buy a plastic template that has all different sized circles but I don't have one of those yet, so pardon the lumps!

I was really surprised to read quite a few artists use these circle templates to assist them with drawing eyes and irises. So, it's obviously ok for you to use them for anything.

I did this drawing of a wizard from a figurine ornament that I have at home.

He is holding a crystal ball but while I was researching wizards, there was not much mention of a connection between wizards and crystal balls.

So, I'm a bit confused as to why we think wizards should have a crystal ball.

I also thought you might like to see a bat hanging around. Ok, it's a cartoon bat drawing, but let's remember we are in fantasy land here!

I've included him here because he should be very easy for you to copy and draw.
