Jessica NeonDragon Peffer graduated from Columbus College of Art and Design in 2005 with a degree in illustration. She is currently working as an illustrator and enjoys being able to draw dragons ripping people's heads off for a living. This is her second book.
I'd like to use this 6 3 (15cm 8cm) block of text to thank my family for all of their love, support and the bountiful supply of Coca-Cola. (This includes my two sisters, Megan and Shauna, who I forgot to mention in DragonArt. There! You happy now?) Many thanks go out to my editor, Kelly Messerly, for making me sound like I might have some vague idea what I'm talking about, and to Jennifer Hoffman, for making the chaos of illustrations I threw at her into the neat, orderly glory you see before you.
F ANTASY IS ONE OF THE MOST EXCITING GENRES TO DRAW FOR . T HERE ARE NO RULES AND ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE . Y OU CAN STICK TO THE ESTABLISHED CONVENTIONS ALREADY OUT THERE, OR LET YOUR IMAGINATION RUN WILD .
F ANTASY WORLDS AREN'T JUST POPULATED WITH SENSATIONAL MONSTERS . T HEY'RE FULL OF EQUALLY FANTASTICAL RACES OF PEOPLE . H EROES, VILLAINS, AND THE EVERYDAY PERSON CAN BE ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING YOU CAN IMAGINE.
Y OUR FANTASY WORLD CAN BE A REALM OF MEDIEVAL MAYHEM, WAYWARD PEASANTS FIGHTING EVIL SORCERERS TO SAVE THAT ELUSIVE PRINCESS . M AYBE YOU DON'T WANT TO STICK TO A PREESTABLISHED CONVENTION; YOUR FANTASY WORLD COULD BE A MIX OF MODERN TECHNOLOGY AND MAGICAL CREATURES . M AYBE YOUR WORLD IS FULL OF BITS AND PIECES OF SEVERAL DIFFERENT MYTHS, COMBINED WITH SOMETHING UNIQUELY YOUR OWN.
W ITH ALL THE VARIETY IN CHARACTERS, COSTUMES, MONSTERS AND ENVIRONMENTS, FANTASY IS A GENRE THAT CAN KEEP YOU INTERESTED WITH ENOUGH NEW AND EXCITING THINGS TO IMAGINE AND CREATE FOR A LIFETIME!
Fantasy creatures, by their very nature, have no firm blueprints. In made-up worlds, rules are made to be broken. However, the creatures all share some similar characteristics. Anatomy must be functional. By studying each piece of the anatomy and understanding how it works, you'll learn to build your own characters.
This book consists mainly of easy-to-follow step-by-step demonstrations. Each new step of each demonstration is denoted in red. Following along with the demonstrations will help you draw several different, truly fantastic creatures. Look out for Dolosus, your fierce dragon guide, and Harold, his incompetent minion, along the way, too. They shows up here and there to provide helpful tips and tricks to ease your passage.
Bigin with a line of motion
Then add lanky, stretched-out boxes to indicate the head, chest and hips.
Don't be discouraged if your first efforts don't look exactly as you planned. Everything comes with practice. The more you draw, the better you'll get. Through sheer repetition, your drawings will improve and your own personal style will emerge. If each drawing you make looks a little bit better than the previous one, you're getting somewhere.
Draw dimensional lines to connect the chest and hips.
Using simple line-and-circle construction, sketch in the arms.
So sharpen your pencils, find your softest eraser and prepare your trusty inking pen, and let's go!
W HILE FANTASY MONSTERS AND MAGIC TURNIPS ARE ALL WELL AND GOOD, MOST PEOPLE WILL WANT THEIR STORIES TO CENTER AROUND MORE HUMANLIKE CREATURES . W E FIND IT EASY TO RELATE TO HUMANS BECAUSE WE KNOW THEM BEST .
H UMANS ARE A FANTASTIC TOOL FOR VISUAL STORYTELLING BECAUSE WE CAN TELL AT A GLANCE WHAT A FACIAL EXPRESSION OR GESTURE IS TRYING TO CONVEY . T HIS ALLOWS YOU, AS THE ARTIST, TO TELL A STORY WITH ONLY A FEW SUBTLE TOUCHES .
