Fantasy Art

Awesome Fantasy Posters

This site has been set up with some very realistic, awe inspiring fantasy posters. http://cool-fantasy-posters.blogspot.com/

The true measure of whether you are looking at great fantasy art is to ask yourself, "How realistic does it look". The whole idea of fantasy, of any type, is to suspend the believe of the viewer, or reader, so that they will believe that what they are reading could actually happen...somewhere...anywhere. If you can believe that you are looking at a picture of an actual event, then you can really appreciate it as some really awesome fantasy art.

The classification of Fantasy art can be very broad.  Some people like art of dragons, some like fairies or unicorns or even orcs.  There are whole arrays of different catagories and types of fantasy art.  The art depicted in these posters is varied enough to satisy the various tastes of even the most critical art lover.

If you like fantasy art check out the this site.  Loads of great art.  It passes the litmus test of being realistic and can make you believe in fantasy again.

Some things to remember about fantasy art:

If you don't like something don't just criticize it, try to figure out what's wrong with it that would make you not like it.  Usually it's something that causes you to doubt its reality.  Don't criticize just because you don't like it.

There's a lot of fantasy art out there so if you find some you don't like its ok.  There's plenty of other pieces to like.

Most importantly have fun and enjoy the great art!

 

 

 

About the Author

Hello, there's a lot of information out there that needs to be written about. I'm here to write some!

what are the best pencils, drawing paper and erasers for drawing fantasy art?

Although I suppose the question would apply to any type or art.

What?
Perspective man, perspective.
What I like is not necessarily what you will ultimately like.
Go to my deviant page below to see what I use when working in graphite.
Let’s see... if I can find a back answer....

Hello;
I use mechanical pencils and lead holders. It seems that since I have moved over to these I don't use up any lead... except maybe in the .05 mechanical pencils with 4b lead.
I will post up below so you can see what I work with when drawing in lead (lead = graphite).
Well, I got tired of using wood pencils because of all the sharpening and wood shavings.
I use Staedtler Lead Holders and leads because the pencils come with an integral sharpener in the pencil cap, so when I go out to draw I don't need to take the bulky blue sharpener with me. The Lead Holders
If you buy their leads they have a colored replacement cap you can put on the lead holder so you know what lead is in the pencil.
The only traditional pencil I use is the #2 HB since you can buy a bunch for pennies, but I don't use the HB so much.
In the .05 mech pencils I have 4H, 2B, and 4B leads. I like these for fine work so I don't have to keep sharpening the lead on the lead holders.
Staedtler lead holder cost about $6, and the pack of 12 leads cost $10. The .05 mech pencils $5-12 with the packs of 12 leads under $1.
I was hesitant to purchase some many to hold the different leads, but I am glad I did. My drawing get done so much faster as I don't have to do much sharpening and reloading of leads.

But you didn't ask about colored pencils... or did you?

Paper. Wow... smooths Bristol if you can afford it, copy paper if you can't.

What can you do?

This kind of questions lends to a naivety in art. You must find what works best for you.

Soft leads work good for sketches.... man what can you do?

Hehehehe.
Wow.

Kneaded eraser.

Whatever.
Can you even draw?
I could suggest that which you cannot afford. I can suggest if you are a beginner.

Ink and color with pencil? Pure color pencil? Back and white? Heck, charcoal can be used. Incorporation of water color, anybody?

What can you do now?
