Creatures of the fantasy of drawing takes certain competencies that go beyond the normal field of drawing because you do not find a topic to ask you - unless you live in an enchanted forest! So you are faced with not only the task of learning to draw also face you the challenge to tap into your imagination and this then puts down on paper. Here are some solid tips that will help you to imagine and to attract the best creatures of fantasy.

How tap dans your Imagination.

Doodling and drawing with a free style are the best way to get your creativity and imagination flowing. The procedure is to simply draw quick sketches and then modify that things are starting to appear. It goes something like this: draw a human big head shape, and then start to add a body but not consciously make a human body, vary your lines and see where it goes. You will be surprised by what is happening. Your eyes will begin to see things in a different way and allow you to create fantastic creatures. Must be only quick sketches and you should take much of them - fill the sheet of paper and see where are the drawings. It is a great way to arrive at the idea of starting a new creature of fantasy.
Changing the shape of the existing creatures and animals - many fantasy creatures more familiar is changes in pet animals. A Unicorn is a variant of a horse and a Dragon is a variant of a dinosaur. Think that other creatures and block their rough shape then the thinking of variations. What would look like a cat if it had scales instead of fur? Or is there a giraffe with short legs?
The power of the animal combination - it is somehow very powerful to create new creatures of fantasy and Greek mythology is loaded with such a beast. A Centaur is half human and half horse. and a siren is half woman and half fish. The possibilities are endless, and when are you jot down ideas do you limit body just upper and lower combinations. Try combining branches, torsos, heads, hands, feet or anything else that strikes you.
The creative power of distortion - often times fantastic creatures are distortions of humans or other animals. Think of your drawing as a piece of clay you can mold in any form. Distort the arms, legs, torso, head, or anything else. This will benefit some great results. If you draw a man who is very lean with an oversized head you move toward something resembling a Goblin. And if you draw a man very thick and stocky you can move towards a Troll or an Ogre.
Here are a couple of unusual ways to tap into your imagination and create unusual fantasy creatures. Try to make an unusual noise, and then try to draw the creature or the beast that would make that sound. Or write a description in words for your beast, and then try to. These two techniques provide other parts of your brain in the process not only your hand-eye coordination.
The mechanics of how to get the best Fantasy creatures

Everything that concerns human anatomy - if you practice people drawing you will get much better to draw creatures of fantasy. The same rules of base of the musculature and skeletal foundations apply to all biological creatures - same compounds ones. Don't forget: the skin or fur is something that covers muscles and bones but hide completely. The bones and muscles appear throughout. Therefore attract more people and will enhance your fantasy creatures.
Attract more existing creatures - Fantasy creatures are almost always variations in creatures and animals that already exist. If you want to draw a dragon, you should think and watch the pictures of dinosaurs and large lizards. If you want to draw a Unicorn, you must use a horse as your model. And there are many variations on the human form. If you want to draw a dwarf, an Elf or a Goblin, you can use the human form as an ideal starting point. The important thing to remember is that horses more you draw better will be your unicorns and dinosaurs more you better draw your dragons will be. And the best thing about it is that you can easily find photos of horses and dinosaurs to look at while you draw.
Use your tools of design for an expression-drawing of a creature, you will need to think about it. It is a gentle creature or a creature mean? Use your pen in a manner which expresses itself. Dark, bold lines and sharp are generally better when drawing angry or fearsome creatures and soft lines are generally preferable for gentle creatures. This is something that is often overlooked, but it is very important. You use your pencil in a manner that goes beyond the lines any drawing. And this applies to a wide range of techniques, including short lines, long lines, jerky line and same shade.
Feel free to watch and copy other peoples work. Looking carefully at another fantastic working improve your work considerably. When doing a copy you are forced to see things that you would not normally see and it is a great way to learn how to do it yourself. -Just not to claim the creature as your own.
Keep a sketch and log book and often work in it. This is something that works real well for me, because in research on many pages of doodles, as you did in the past is often inspire new ideas for the drawings of creatures.
Creatures of fantasy is a hobby difficult but rewarding. It has the double advantage to improve your ability to attract while cultivating your creativity and imagination. With a bit of practice and understanding of these basic tips you will make amazing creatures of fantasy in no time at all the.
