Learn all about drawing fantasy art and other resources as an artist, to help you on your way to build your concepts and creativity.
Fantasy Art Creature Squid


When you are constantly involved in the [B]creation of art, eventually you want to get it out there and seen by as many other people as possible, fantasy art is to be seen and appreciated like any other piece of art in any medium.


Getting your artwork viewed online takes a little work, but it can be done with a little time and effort and there are many ways to do this effectively.

I am going to go through th best ways of reaching other audiences out there in the world of the internet, if you like to write, then naturally the first thing you would want to do is write a blog, detailing first about you and your inspirations, then move on to writing and showing some of your best work for others to see, you want people to know you as an artist and maybe share some insights into the way you work.

Quite obviously there are millions of blogs out there, but with some determination you will find the right balance and a way to share your thoughts and ideas for other to join in too and discuss your medium of fantasy drawing.

All social networks come with a profile page, and that is the true power of places like Myspace, Bebo, Facebook and many others, they allow you to add links to your blogs, sites of interest and highly relevant topics and other targeted content can be surrounded by your profile page, making you an expert or a really passionate person about your area of interest.


Other content driven websites like Hubpages and Squidoo help you too add your artistic reach online, they provide you with new ways to be a credible fantasy artist, for people to see your art and also see a personal insight into you, you could maybe save some unique content for these two sites and link them up to your main blog.

Why not create an ebook, it doesn't have to be spectacular or of professional quality (but that does help!) A pdf ebook or report that you either give away for free or sell for whatever you like, things like this help you as an artist and showing that you have more to offer, and have professional thoughts to share that are going to be of use.

Perhaps it's through books and other readable content that I first found out how to draw that dragon way back when I was a child, it was a simple childrens book on how to draw monsters and mythical creatures and I was immersed, even at a young age of learning all I could about drawing monsters and other things in the area of Fantasy art.

I particularly found it fascinating to draw what others could draw and paint in a photo-realistic way, the artists like Boris Vallejoand Frank Frazetta are the ones to take note of here, but there are many others that I will be writing blog posts about as time goes on and there truly are some great fantasy artists out there.

The effortless style of these revolutionary masters of fantasy art would be the inspiration for me to build my art up through stages of practice and study.

Fantasy Art Books are one of the best resources to easily soak up all the study based learning that you can and finding that way of working on your own style is also what you need to be doing in your own time of course.

If you feel you have the professional style of art, then you can add your own artistic credentials to this fantasy art directory of artists from all around the world

Here are some of the best resources in drawing fantasy art, some I own or some I've heard about from other artists, some may be featured in online fantasy art galleries.

Skull Art
Skull


One of the most popular aspects of drawing fantasy is the drawing of skulls, skulls can be from the area of tattoo art and over at squidoo there are some lenses about fantasy art, I have created one about skull drawing

I will be going into more detail about skull art and an explanation of why I think this popular iconic image is in high demand.

Skulls can be found on many designs like pirate flags and tribal tattoo designs featuring tribal skull art, maybe the fascination with the human skull could be an influencing design choice for an artist, to see what lies beneath the skin, an almost symmetrical design, except for teeth.

A skull can be placed anywhere in a design, not always at the centre, it could be in the far corner or to the bottom of the design and other compositional elements surrounding it, such as fire or some tribal markings.

Drawing skulls in their many forms also provide a trademark to the artist too, they find that they can identify their art more if they draw some realistic imagery from real life or inspired by real life contents.

When you do a skull sketch, make sure you always retain your own art style as this is why we create as artists to let the world know and relate to our art in some way!
