Fantasy Town Maps 1-3

These are some drawings of fantasy town maps I did a while ago since I was interested in drawing them for stuff like DnD and my own stories. I found a tutorial online (Drawing a Town Map (for DnD) by WASD20) and did these three drawings based on what I learned from there, each with… Continue reading Fantasy Town Maps 1-3

Scotsman 02

This was the first stage: spray painting. I’ve not used spray paints before but it was the best way to get a rough idea of where the colours would be. It was also the easiest way to get a base colour for the largest areas without spending ages with a paintbrush and waiting for it… Continue reading Scotsman 02

Scotsman 01

I never expected life would require me to draw a life-sized Scotsman on a piece of cardboard, but here we are. Instead of the usual pin-the-tail-on-the-donkey party game, due to the theme of the event it was suggested to do a pin-the-sporran-on-the-scotsman instead. To start with I drew a draft (seen in the bottom left… Continue reading Scotsman 01

These are the planning sketches I made using the tutorial video as reference. The scan quality may not be… Continue reading Charleston 01

Australian Animals

I decided to draw ten Australian animals. Thankfully I could remember ten off the top of my head, four of which are birds to give some variety. I didn’t like how my first drawing attempts turned out, because even though I was looking at photo references, the proportions were never quite right. So I did… Continue reading Australian Animals

Masquerade Dress 02

With the paper draft from before, and some pictures from Google, I finished drawing the draft of the dress. It was MUCH easier to get the shapes and designs right with references right there. It turned out better than I expected, and this is just the draft. A few notes The first change was that… Continue reading Masquerade Dress 02

Masquerade Dress 01

I was inspired and decided to draw an OC of mine (Original Character) in a masquerade dress. The only problem was that I didn’t have a dress design to use. This led to some brainstorming and eventually I settled on a mix of Tudor, Renaissance and Regency style, particularly of English and French influence. It… Continue reading Masquerade Dress 01
