Today’s Fantasy Art Drawing

More Anne Stokes fan art! Hooray! I guess it’s only Day 8 out of 30, but I do need to include other fantasy artists in the mix.

Daily Fantasy Drawing Thoughts & Meditations

I woke up an hour earlier than usual today. I feel like the past week, I’ve been trying to draw for 30 minutes, but it goes by so fast. Turns out getting up an hour early was a good choice. I was able to just turn my brain off and draw. When you give yourself time to do fantasy drawings, and not be constrained by the clock, it’s just better for your brain.

Not starting the day with screens is also proving to be a good plan. As much as I love my tablet, just doodling with a pencil is a good thing, plus there’s not the extra distraction that comes with being on the computer or phone- checking feeds, news (which is never good), and all that. Part of the reason I wanted to do this daily challenge was for my own mental health and sanity. The fact that most of these are just exercises, studies of other artists, and therefore not able to sell, really does release some amount of pressure. I can just learn, it doesn’t have to be perfect.

Fantasy art is escapist. The world by its nature is an unsafe and unstable place. I don’t know if it’s more so, less so, or we’re just more aware of it (again, the point is getting away from screens). I don’t know about you, but my own brain feels like it’s constantly ready for an attack, but not sure from where. Being able to just sit down, say no to tech first thing in the morning, and draw dragons and other fantasy creatures helps give the brain the much-needed rest it needs. It can actually process and function somewhat.

And Now, A Word From Our AI Scribe About Fantasy Art Drawings

Having fun with SEO and stuff. Here’s a couple of short paragraphs about fantasy art from the AI blog writing program I’m currently using:

Fantasy art drawing is a form of art that depicts imaginary scenes and places. These are usually set in worlds with fantastic creatures, characters, and landscapes.

Fantasy art drawing is used in many different ways such as illustrating one’s imagination or expressing an emotion. It can be used to create artwork for movies, video games, books, comics, and more.

Dragon Rider’s Dance is a fantasy comic where dragons are the princesses. Follow Ari and Matthias’ adventures as they navigate great adventures, monsters, and dragon slayer exes.

“What’s wrong, Matthias? You’re not afraid to fight a woman of great power and strength, are you? Or is that why you chose HER over me? Meek, obedient, content to always wear a pretty smile?”

Matthias had to stop himself from halting in his tracks- absolutely bewildered at the dragon slayer maid’s jeering. He brushed the insult away quickly. Surely, this was a trick. To say something so stupid it would render him dumbfounded and vulnerable to a strike.

The only other time Rhea had only met his wife was when she was helping him clean up their campsite to move on to their next adventure. Singing happily as she did so. So of course, it meant she was a helpless waif incapable of hurting an insect.

Rhea did not know the truth about the woman she meant to demean. The awesome and terrible beast behind the pretty face. The fierce huntress. Unlike Rhea, though, Ari’Malcros did not feel the need to demonstrate such power when there was no immediate danger. She certainly found more joy in being loved than feared.

“There’s a difference between strength and… whatever the hell YOU are, don’t you think?” Matthias shot back. Rhea did not like that. She lunged at him with her sword. Her face filled with hate. “Tell me. Why did you want to be a dragon slayer so bad? Did you really want to protect others from the so-called scaly, winged tyrants?

Or do you just enjoy being a tyrant yourself?”

Daily Drawing Day 7. Inspired by Anne Stokes’ “Friends Forever”. Woke up in a panic (like you do) so I wanted to draw something more comforting.

But as she grows up, she becomes more like the wise and beautiful queen she was meant to be.

Of course, being a mighty beast, you would still be dumb to disrespect her.

“Hm…. looks like we have some uninvited guests… Matthias? See that they’re given a warm welcome, won’t you? Wait… I’m worried what you heard was ‘Kill them.’ I quite literally meant… you know what? Never mind, I’ll do it. Where do we keep the tea?”

What’s this? No Anne Stokes today? Nope. Today’s daily drawing is a study of Wayne Reynold’s “Below the 4th” cover art.

Once again, it turned into Ari and Matthias.
