In an ancient time of warring tribes, kingdoms, wizards, and wanderers, heroes fought evil and injustice. Here are some ideas for characters to inspire your own epic fantasy tales.
Give your muscular hero a weapon that looks too heavy for a regular person to lift. It will show he has great strength and makes him look more fearsome.
The solitary, wandering warrior is a classic hero. This fighter was raised, then cast out by a secretive group of warrior monks and has to seek work as a mercenary. He is rough, unforgiving, brutal, but honest. His needs are simple and he is suspicious of wizards and kings.
WILD MAN OF THE NORTH The monk is heavily muscled and bears scars from several battles. On his forehead, and around his neck are the symbols of his beliefs, to protect him against evil magic.
Growing up in the secretive realm of the Amazons, this shield maiden was taught to fight from childhood. Rarely seen outside her home, the Amazon has a fearful reputation. Taller than most men, she is strong and highly skilled with multiple weapons.
Include characters with questionable motives in your stories, like this ragged-looking dwarf. He is more of a plotter than a fighter. If you can put up with his smell, youll find he is a useful guide. Cunning and untrustworthy, he looks for ways to line his pocket, tricking others into gambling away their wealth. He lost an eye following one argument.
WHEELER DEALER Like all his fellow swamp-dwellers, the dwarf believes cleanliness is a waste of effort. He only changes his clothes when they fall apart and considers the mouse that lives in his beard as his best friend.
What is fantasy without a whiff of magic, where good or evil wizards study dark arts? This sinister sorceress sold her soul to an ancient demonic force that has kept her alive for centuries. As part of her bargain, the witch demands sacrifices from the town near her tower. If the locals refuse her wishes, they fear they will be struck down by magical plagues or, worse, the sorceresss army of undead stone warriors.
A DARK BARGAIN The sorceress wears a dark gown and a horned headdress. Her eyes glow with unearthly power given to her by a demon. The orb in her hands is a conduit to a dark realm, the source of her infernal powers.
Use a cold and spooky blue light to illuminate your sorceress and suggest she is controlling magical forces. Make her eyes glow with the same mystic light.
Grab your pencils to draw a dashing hero swinging his sword across the page.
1. WIREFRAME
Using light pencil marks, draw a simple stick figure showing your swordsman's pose. The shoulders are at right angles to his hips as the top half of his body turns, ready to swing his sword.
2. JOINTED FIGURE
Use circles to mark the position of joints. The swordsman's left arm seems shorter than the right as it stretches behind the body. Draw a rough sword in the right hand and a dagger in the left. Indicate the position of the eyes on the face.
3. ANATOMY
Fill out your figure, with a rounded torso and muscular arms and legs. Position the facial features, giving your swordsman a determined look. Add hands gripping the hilts of the sword and dagger.
4. FINISHED PENCILS
Now tighten your pencils, giving your swordsman short, ragged hair, and a beard. He wears medieval dress metal plates strapped with leather belts over layers of loose cloth and a chain-mail shirt.
5. PALETTE
When you are happy with your pencils, choose the range of shades you want to use on the figure. This swordsman wears turquoise and burgundy clothing with gold edging, to match his king's banner, plus brown leather straps, and silvery metal.
Take care drawing the hand holding the sword. See how the knuckles follow a curve. If you are right-handed, you may find it useful sketching your left hand holding a tube in a mirror to use as reference.
6. FINAL ART
The finished painting adds a shiny polish to the metal and deep shadows in the folds of the cloth. Sandy brown highlights bring out his hair. A transparent blue curve shows the direction of the sword swing.
Fantasy adventures need mighty monsters. This giant ogre fills the page with his bulk. He is raising a massive mace, ready to crush his victims.
1. WIREFRAME
Using light pencil marks, draw a simple stick figure for your ogre's pose. Add a large oval for the chest and circle for the pelvis. The body curves back toward the head, with one arm raised, ready to swing the mace downward.
2. JOINTED FIGURE
Mark the position of the ogre's joints with circles. His hands are huge, his arms are long, while his legs are short and stumpy. His neck is hidden by his wide head. Draw a rough outline for his heavy mace.
3. ANATOMY
Though the ogre has a lot of flab, he is massively strong. Outline his bulky limbs and sagging belly. He has only two fingers and a thumb on each hand. His mouth opens wide in a roar.
