Quick Overview Of Fantasy Themes!: Hello artist and welcome. Before we start drawing, let's first talk about fantasy and stems. If you want to draw fantasy characters, chances are there's something that inspired you. There are many movies, games, and TV shows that tell us stories and fantasy worlds. Most of the times, these worlds are highly inspired by medieval times, the clothing, the places, transportation and other aspects while adding some magic, different cultures and creatures, and sometimes even a different technology than what we'd see around that time. So turning to these things can be a good idea to get inspired in creating your characters. Take a look at different Artur in movies and TV shows such as Merlin and Excalibur. Another big reference is Lord of the Ring and the Hobbit, be it through books, but also movies, TV shows, or even games and graphic novels. Degeons and Dragons is another place to find great fantasy inspiration, and there's so much material out there about it nowadays. Podcasts such as Critical Hall, along with the animated TV show. Movies, the DND books are also filled with images and illustrations that are comic books and even board games. If you're a fan of fantasy, you surely know about most of what I'm talking about. All these fantasy stories have several themes in common. For example, different races, such as elves, gnomes, ogres, orcs, dragons, and dragon people, and many others. There's also almost always some kind of magic. For that reason, the people in these stories can have different types of jobs or classes. Someone can be a cook or a blacksmith, but there may be a magic wilder such as a wizard or a sorcerer. Weapons such as a sword, dagger or a magical staff is also very common. And finally, the clothing. Capes, fantasy or medieval like clothing, maybe some armor depending on the character. So before we move on to the next video, write down some of your favorite fantasy movies, TV shows, books, or games. This can be used for inspiration for your character. You don't need to go overboard with it. Pick three of those things or even less. Once you have that list, we can go to the next video where we'll talk about references and where to get them. 3. Getting Inspired With References: Hello, and welcome back. We talk about fantasy and its themes, and hopefully you now have a small list of your favorite fantasy works. Now it's time to find some references to help us create our fantasy characters. Now, as we talked about, most of these works already have some visual references. You can go directly to those and save some images. For example, talking illustrations from his books or art that you find on DND guidebooks. There are also many artbooks around, both from famous movies, games, and TV shows, but also from different artists. If you own any artbook from a favorite artist, you can turn to this and take some photos to use as reference. It's always important to turn to something that you already enjoy since it will inspire you. Why not take a screenshot of your character from Bowlers gate Tree or World of Warcraft, or any similar game where you can create your character. This way, you're getting inspiration from something you already had the opportunity to customize according to your taste. Instead of screenshots, if you prefer, you can also look up your favorite movies and TV shows online. For example, go to pinres.com and look up Lord of the Ring screen caps. And then you can find a whole lot of images and save a few that you like. You can also go to Google Images and do the same thing. A good thing about Pinterest is that you can create a board similar to a folder on your computer and keep all your images and references there. Whatever you find, just click Save and choose a board for it. Then whenever you need inspiration, just open the right board and you have everything you need to see. And of course, you can make your own screenshots. This is also a good excuse to rewatch your favorite movies and TV shows once again. It's just for research. Take screenshots of things that you like and keep them in a folder somewhere. Then we can use those for inspiration and ideas for our characters. All right, have fun looking at references and when you're ready, follow me to the next video where we learn how to draw Shiv El character. 4. Let's Sketch A Chibi Elf Character!: All right. Hello, and welcome back. We're now going to start drawing our fantasy Chevy characters, starting with an elf. So I have here a base for my drawing, and I left to the templates for the Elf character, so you can use it as a base as well. So feel free to download it and use it in your drawings. So we just have the body here of a Shiv right and then I got here to the side a few references, some ideas for outfits and just so I have a visual reference of how an elf could look. I'm going to be drawing on top of my base drawing. So we have our head, right. The first thing I think about when talking about elves is the point years, right. So that's what I'm going to start with. So two triangle shapes, one on each side. It's fun if things look messy right now, this is just a sketch, maybe a bit rounder. It's a shiv and supposed to be cute, and cute things are usually quite round. So round the years like this. But yeah, this is just a sketch show. Don't worry too much about it. It's okay if it's rough, if it's messy, we just want to have an idea of our character, then we'll clean it up later on. So eyes, right? The face is going to be very simple. And the smile and the smile. There we go. Maybe we can have a bit of blush. For hair, going to draw long hair, something very simple and even go really long, right? That's another thing I think about when I'm thinking about elves is very long hair. This is a hiy. We can exaggerate it a bit and even have bits of hair going here in the front. There we go. Or hair is done. You can also add something like we have here, an accessory for the head, something simple, something like this. Very simple. We don't need to add too many details. Of course, if that's the look you want, or let's say if you like to have a very complex style, then you can add more details to it. I like to keep things simple, especially when it comes to shibby characters. Now, all you have to do is the outfit right, and we have here a few ideas. I really like this small cape. I associate elves a lot with capes and cloaks, so I want to draw one. And I saw this little poncho or this little cape that is quite short. And I thought it would be fun for a hivy character. So let's try doing something like that. The buttons. There we go. And, of course, I'm going to draw a dress for her, simple skirt. Maybe the dress goes all the way to the bottom, so you can't really see feet. I think that would be nice. I'm trying to do something similar to the dress we got over there, we have a little bit more detail in here. This is it for my sketch. As you can see, very simple, I got just a few references there just to give me an idea. Now it's time to clean up everything. This is a sketch I'm going to leave it like this for now. If you want, you can go and sketch your own Chiblf character. If you do, take your time and then you can see me in the next video. Not if you prefer to leave everything to the end for your assignment, then follow me to the next video where we'll be cleaning up our character and the linear. So I'll see you right there. 5. Line Art For Our Chibi Elf: Hello, and welcome back. We are back to our ChVL character, and now we're going to clean everything up, so we have a finished drawing. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to lower the opacity of this layer and then add a new layer on top and grab my pen Brush. There we go. Let me check the brush size. Let's have a bit more. Yeah, maybe this is okay. And now we can start drawing our cat. Basically, we're just going to go over all those sketch lines we did before, but leaving the lines a bit more refined, cleaned and with that final look, right? So I'm going to start with the hair. Since it's in front of the rest of the face, something like this, you can't go wrong with alfis. There are many different ways for you to draw them. So try different things if you want and see what works best for you. Weg got the eyebrows. In my previous sketch show, I'm going to draw them now. There we go. Now, so things go a bit quickly. This time around, I'm going to copy and paste. I'm going to duplicate this side of the face, flip it, and now move it to the sub something like this. Let's merge these two layers together. There we go. Now we can just fix things here and there. As you can see, I'm just going over my lines, my previous line. This is also a good time for you to fix anything or change anything that you feel could have a change. I'll do the same on the other side. I'm not duplicating this because I'm okay if they're not exactly symmetrical. It's a hair accessory. If it's not symmetrical, that's perfectly normal. So sometimes I like to have things going not so perfect in my drawings. So the head is basically done. I'm going to leave the blush as it is because I'm going to add a blush when coloring, which we will do in the next video. So for now, I'll just focus on drawing all the lineup. Same thing here again, I'm going to just draw half of it and then duplicate this part of the cloak, so it's symmetrical. I addile here to the sleeve. Now I have always this idea that Elves are very refined, right, so they do like to wear very refined things with lots of details. So let's try to do that bit something like this. Now I'm going to select this side. There we go, and now copy, paste it, Transform, flip horizontally, and move it to the other side. Doing this mostly so you don't have to watch me take forever with my Lenard. But I do advise you that you do whole drawing, so it's a good practice, you know? You can take these kinds of shortcuts when you're more used to the subjects you're drawing, but until then, I do suggest you draw every single thing without going for shortcuts. Now, this skirt, let's first or here, something similar. As you can see, I'm leaving things very simple. I'm not adding too much texture there. I could, but I don't really want to be doing that because I like my shiv drawings to be very simple, there we go. We're not finished. I forgot the rest of the hair. Let's do that very quickly. Yes, there we go. Our line art is finished. So as you can see, it is very simple. I did add a few details because I think en character asks for that. But this is just one example. Again, it's good to look at references, so you have a few ideas. You can draw braids, for example, instead of the long hair. I don't know, there's a lot of things you can do, so explore your drawings and explore different ideas. For now, this is how I'm going to leave my character. Again, take your time, and I will see the next video where we'll be coloring our Lf character. So I will see you right there. 6. Coloring Our Chibi Elf!: All right, here we are once again, and this is the last stage of drawing our elf chevy character, which is adding some colors. So again, you can color your chevy character however you want. For example, for me, I do like the greens for an elf character or maybe very light colors. We're going to go with something like that, following our color scheme here from our references. First thing I'm going to do is hide the sketch layer so we can properly see our character. I'll try to not forget about the blush, very important. Now I'm going to add a layer below my line art, and then I'm going to use the paint bucket to fill everything. So we can go and let's try here this green. Might be a bit too dark, so we can go over to our color wheel and try different things. Something like this might work. I like it. So I'm going to add this color to the dress and maybe a light color. To this area. I'm adding the colors very roughly right now. If I need to fix anything, I will do so later. For now, I just want to see the color scheme and if it works in this light green here to the sleeves as well. For the cloak, let's see this one. Maybe a bit too dark again. Let's try something else. Maybe we're getting there. So as you can see, I'm just looking at colors at the colors of my references and trying them out if I don't like them. I change things up a little bit, like this. Think I like this, pick this color again for the buttons. There we go. Now hair. Do we want blonde hair or dark hair? I guess we're going to try both and see what we can even try one side and then the other color both sides and see what we like best with the color scheme we have. I think the blonde could work better in case here, so we're going to go in that direction. I think things can change. You don't always need to follow your first idea. Sometimes you add colors and then you might change your mind, and there's always space and time to change things up. There we go. I want a lighter blonde, I think. Yes, this is better. I like this. For picking colors, it really depends I like to use different methods. For example, in this case, I decided to base my color scheme on the references I have, but you can also look for some color palettes online and see what you prefer, find a color palette that you like, and use that, or you can just start coloring with whatever you have in mind. That works too. For me, I mostly go following the references I have or finding a color palette online. That's the way I enjoy the most doing. And looking for colors. But again, we all work differently. So try different things, see what you prefer. I also don't like to use a lot of different colors. This is a personal preference, but it's something that you can try as well and see what you like best. If you prefer to use lots of colors, it can be a bit harder to use lots of colors. So do pay attention to that. The browns might work best for the cloak. See, as you can see, I will not let myself be stuck with one color pod or one color. Don't like it, I can try something else. Everything is possible to change. So if it happens, that's right. You don't need to be angry about it or frustrated about it. It's part of the fun. I'm just adding the small details that we missed. Example here, as you can see, there are some bits of white here and there. So I'm going with my brush and fill in those spaces. Another thing you can do is try color harmonies. For example, some colors will naturally work well together. Example, the green, you can look for the complimentary colors of you choose the green and then you will look for the complimentary colors, stuff like that. Example, I'm not sure about yeah, I'll have to change the green now because I'm not using it anymore, so let's go for the green of our dress. There we go. Now, that works and everything looks quite balanced. Green always goes great with brown. As you can see, even in these pictures, there's always a green and the brown combined. If you're drawing a forest or a wood elf, that's the kind of color that can work very well. So all I'm missing is the blush. And I'm going to try different colors for that. Going to add a new layer, so I have a bit more freedom to try things out. I actually I really like this color, but let's try just a little bit more ops, something like this. I think we can have this. Now I'm going to duplicate this layer, transform, and flip horizontal and move it to the other side. There we go. I love it. So cute. So yeah, what I'd advise you is to maybe choose 2-3 colors, and of course, you can change the tones. For example, I have the yellow, but I use different tons of yellow. Same thing for the green, right? I use different tones of green. So choose like two or three colors, and then try to use those as a palette for your character. Try different tones of each color and try to combine them. I think the easiest way to go usually, if you're not too used to color right now, and coloring characters in general is to not overdo it with colors. So this is it. We have our Elf character finished. I think she looks really cute. This is one way to go about it, so have fun with your characters, be as creative as you want. And I will see you in the next video where we'll draw another kind of fantasy Shiv character. 7. Sketching An Orc Character Step By Step: Hello, and welcome back. This time around, we're going to draw a bit. It's an opposite character that we did previously. We're going to draw an or character. I have here my base drawing. Again, I left you a template for this, download it and use it for your practices, for your characters. And as you can see, an art carrier for me is a bit more robust, a bit more squared. We don't want to overdo the square part, so these are the shapes I'm going for. So first things first, I'm going to add some opacity here to my base proportions and start drawing things. Once again, I'm going to start with the head. So as you can see, I'm running things up a bit more while keeping the same kind of shape. For years, a lot of times or characters also have pointy ears. I really like this kind where they are pointing down. I think I'm going to use that for inspiration for our characters here. Something like this, same thing on the other side. Again, don't worry about the drawing being perfect. It won't be perfect. It's fine. Going to draw the eyes. It's smaller this time maybe. There we go. Let's not forget our eyebrows very big. And hairy. Or characters are always quite rough, and I do like that quality about them, big, rough, and I think you can do fun things with that. Right. Let's draw the nose this time around, something like this. And now or mouth a bigger mouth. And I do like the things that we see a lot in or carters like this one over here. Of course, a lot of times they have much more teeth or many more teeth, and I like to keep things. Two things appearing here. There we go. Now as for hair, we could leave the character bold, but we could also try something different, like a small ponytail like we have here. I think could work quite well. Move it a bit down. There we go. The ponytail, I think can work something like this. I think we are done with our face and the head in general. Now let's move for our outfit and I'm not too sure. I want to keep things simple. I like this idea of this sash or skirt like thing. I think we're going to go with something like that, like this, and then we have a loin cloth right there. Think this could work, something like this. Tall boots maybe with some hair like this. We have been character here. I don't think we can see the we see a bit of boots here and there's also a bit of hair in them. So I think that can work. Now, for the torso, I'm not sure. Maybe some padrons could work. Just the prons with some bits of hair or whatever it's called sticking out can work and leave it like this. Folks aren't known for wearing a lot of clothing, right? So I think this could work. And this allows us to keep things simple, which is what we want. This looks cute. It's simple and very orchish. So that's how we're going to live things. So this is my sketch of c. I think the main aspects of north character is probably the mouth with the fans, trying to make their features big like the nose and the eyebrows. So point years can work as well. I think most or characters will have one years and then simple, a bit crude, armor and very simple. Keep things as simple as possible, just like this character over here. I think this looks very orgish and I'm really happy I think it's still cute. He has a nice expression. He's a nice guy, and I think it works. I think we can go for the cleanup part. This is it for now. You can explore different things from what I did. You can explore different armors. For example, both of these to have a bit more detailed and complex armor. It all depends on the story you have for your characters or the way you prefer to draw things or create your designs. So feel free to explore different things, and when you're done, you can follow me to the next video where we'll be cleaning up this sketch. I will see you right there. 8. Cleaning The Lines Of Our Fantasy Orc Chibi: Hello, and welcome back. Here we are in the second stage of creating an arc character and chibi arc character. And this time, I'm going to clean up our sketch, just like before. So I'm going to lower the opacity of my drawing, my sketch, add a new vector layer on top. When you draw on a vector layer, you lose quality on your lines or wherever you draw in that layer, you can transform it, make it bigger, scale it up, scale it down. You can change it wherever you want in that layer, and it won't lose quality. I think it's perfect for inart so you don't lose any quality while changing things. Not all drawing software have this, but clips to the paint does have the vector layer option and I always use it for Linux. If that's something that interests you and you think you could use it, then don't forget to use vector layers if your drawing software has that option. Once again, I'm just going to go over my lines. Let's just start of something. We can add a bit of here missing to our character here just to add a bit more uniqueness to our character there we go. All right. Now the big eyebrows, very big and hairy eyebrows. Once again, I'm going to draw half of the face and duplicate the layer and then clip it horizontally to fast forward things a little bit. There you go. Now merge the two layers together again. There. Now we can continue drawing. For example, I don't want this layer to be missing a piece that's too symmetrical. Now we're missing them out here, making it a bit bigger than we originally had. Again, this phase of inart is a good time for you to change anything you might want to change. There we go. Now the hair. Let's move the head a bit downwards. There we go. So we have space for the small ponytail. I think this can work. It's cute. Some dots for that area of bold hair, where it's been shaved, but you see little bits of hair already growing. Let's go for the body now, the big pdrums. Again, I'm going to draw one side, then duplicate it, so I have everything symmetrical. Those bits of Animal hair there we go. First we have to select it or else duplicate the whole layer and that's not what we want to do. Copy, paste it, then transform, and now, yes, move it to the side. Now merge these two layers together again and now I can draw the sash and line coating like this. I was going to do this ornament like a belt buckle. But I just thought of something else and I really like it. This horseshoe, more or less that keeps the sash holding together. Now we have the loin cloth like this, very simple, but it works and that's what we want. Do you want clothes? I don't think so. It doesn't make too much sense for this character, I think. All we're missing is the boots and the legs, the first part of the boots, and then the rest of the boot, there we go. Now duplicate it, transform, flip horizontally, and move it to the other side, and we have I think we are done with our character. I think we're not missing anything. Just merge everything together, fix whatever needs to be fixed. Like these lines over here and this one, there we go, and this is it, or character. I think it looks really cute. It looks orchish. I like the accessories, they're not too much, not a lot of detail, but still very in character. This is it for now. Follow me to the next video where we'll be coloring our chevy character. 9. Coloring A Chibi Orc!: Hello, and welcome back. Here we are the final stage of drawing our Chevy or character, which is coloring. So once again, I'm going to add my sketching layers. Now add a layer below my lines. There we go, and now use the pink bucket. This is a very quick way for you to color, which is using this option that a lot of other drawing software has, which is refer other layers. So basically, you can be adding your colors in an individual layer, layer specifically for colors while still painting inside your lines, for example. So in this case, my paint bucket will have my line art the layer above into account when coloring. So this is a very quick way for you to color your drawings, and I really like to use it. Now, as for colors, for me, orcs are green. As you can see, we have here different types of colors. These ones are a bit brownish, while this one is the green, and here is just really dark, maybe dark browns or red here and there. And for me, it's green. But for you, you can go with the brown, you can explore different things, and even blues can work. There's really no rule here, so I say, have fun and try different things. I'm going to look here for a green that I like too dark. I want something that is a bit low on saturation, has a bit of yellow as you can see. I'm going for these greens between the green and yellow. I think I like this green bit similar to this one. It's also a yellowish green, and that's what I'm going for right now. So the skin is done. Now, let's go for I could go with black for the hair and the eyebrows. But if I do that, you end up not seeing these details on the eyebrows and I don't want it. I want us to be able to see those because I really like those. So we're going to try dark brown. Again, I'm adding the colors very roughly and etti. And I will fix whatever needs fixing. Now, green goes very well with red. I mean, you do see it here, they're complimentary colors. They always go very well together, so I'm going to use the red for most of the outfit sash and the lawn coat. No, I don't want the boots to be red. I think this is good. I think I can use the exact same color as the hair for these areas. This way, I don't need to add even more colors. I think this can work. I like this. Now for the fur, and this ornament right here. I think that's always missing, maybe a lighter brown, almost gray. Take a look like even. So as you can see, I'm just experimenting, following the colors I already have and trying different things. I think the secret is always to explore different things. It's part of the fun of drawing. We don't need to stick with the first idea we have. There's always a chance move things around, try different things. Even if you're drawing traditionally. If things are looking like there's nothing to do to fix it, then we can always start over again, and it's fine. Sometimes it's even best to just start over than continue to be frustrated with our drawing. All right, there we go, or character. Now, do we want to add a blush to him? We can try. I didn't have that idea in mind, but I don't know, it could be fun. It can be a fun idea, and I think it can give our org some more. Well, this is cute. I think it gives him a bit more personality. Instead of the plush to each side of the phase, I think I really like something like this. It's cute. It's very cute. So there we go, a shibby or character. I think it's looking very cute. I really like him. And yeah, have fun with your or hiby characters. Try different things. Or if you don't want to draw right now, that's fine as well. You can leave it for the end when we talk about your assignment. And whenever you're ready, follow me to the next video where we'll be drawing our last hiv character, and it's going to be very, very fun. 10. Fire And Wings! Sketching A Chibi Dragon: Hello, and welcome back. This is our last fantasy Chevy character for now, and this one is going to be a bit different, as you can see, but also really, really cute, and I'm quite excited to create our dragon Shiv character. So again, you can download this, so you can use it to draw your own dragon. So feel free to do that. And let's start. I'm going to grab my pencil brush. Now, add some opacity here to the base. So we can start adding details to our character. We have here a few references. And as always, let's start with the head, right? So I'm going to start with the horns. These are a bit different from, I don't think I have the style of horns in my references, but it's something I really like. I really like the style of horns, so that's what I'm going to use. And this way you have a few more examples. Don't worry about too much your sketch if it's looking good, if it's symmetrical, et cetera, et cetera, it's fine. It's a sketch, be messy with it. Going to draw ellipses for the eyes instead of them being perfectly round like the ones we did so far. Nose, a cute nose for the mouth, do you want something like this? Yeah, I think this is cute. The dragon version of the cat mouth. For the cats, we have something like this. For the dragons, we have something similar, but a bit pointier because they are banks, they are a bit more dangerous than cats, but only two little bits of wash over there. Then I think we can have something like they have here. You see this stuff here to the side and I'm trying to decide what I like. Can work, skewed round and add some personality. Not sure if they're going to be separated from the head like we see in both of these, or if it's going to be everything one shape like in here. Not sure yet, not for the rest of the body, first of all, let's do the belly part. Let's just keep the feet simple like this or the tail, I thinking here, the pointy bits, maybe a bit rounder, following here, the head, these details on the head can work some claws on our hands. It looks good. I like him. Now I want tiny wings. Something like this, very, very tiny. He has very tiny wings. Don't ask me how he can fly with those, but he has tiny wings. Trying to see if I want to add any kind of Well, actually, yes, I like this. We can add this. Some more details to the head. Yeah, I think this looks good, so simple but cute. I don't think I want details on my dragon's feet. I feel it's a bit too much. Try also something else for this area here also too much. I think this is it. A cute sketch, keeping things simple, using various elements of our references. Also, this is a good trick for you to use, and this is the reason it's good to have more than one reference for your character, is that you can pick different things from each reference instead of just following one reference and you accidentally or without thinking, you might end up just copying what you're seeing. So this is it for my sketch right now, and now you can follow me to the next video where once again, we're going to clean up our character. With new and final lineup. I will see you right there. 11. LineArt For Our Chibi Dragon: Hello again and welcome back. It's time to clean our character with final lines so we can move on to coloring. You know how it goes by now, lowering the opacity of my sketch, creating a new layer on top, and then grabbing my pinbh checking if I like the size of the brush. This is good. Now once again, let's start drawing our dragon, our cute hibi dragon. Keeping the round lines, I'm going to draw one side of it and then duplicate the layer, so everything looks asymmetrical as possible. Now duplicating the layer, press out and then pull the layer down and there we go. Now flip it horizontally, press shift, and move it to the other side. There we go. Press Enter. Now let's merge our layers together and fix everything that needs fixing. There we go. Now connect here Alpha like this. There we go. Now for the body, the dragon is the most symmetrical character we've done so far. Again, I'm going to do the same thing, trying just one size, one side, trying just one side, and then duplicate it and drying the other side. There we go. Now let's select the body only. Copy, paste it, transform it and clip horizontally and move it to the other side like this. There we select everything and merge our layers together again. Now all we have to do is finish our drawing. Don't forget the tail, and now the final details, same thing for the belly. The legs usually don't have these areas. You can see you have the belly connecting to the tail, but the legs are free from it. I'm putting up some dividing lines over there and I'll just I'm trying to decide if I want to keep it simple like this one here, smooth and I think that's what I'm going to do. But this is it for a cute Chibi dragon. Looks so cute. I love him. All right. This is it. The line artist done, all we are missing is the colors, which we'll be doing in the next video. Whenever you're ready, follow me to the next video and we'll add colors to our dragon. I will see you right there. 12. Give Our Dragon Some Colors: Hello, and welcome back. So this is our last character and the last stage of drawing our dragon Chevy. So once again, I'm going to hide my sketch layers, and now a new layer below my lines, and I'm going to color my caratter. Now, for my dragon, I really like the red like this one here. Greens are cute, but we use a lot of green throughout this class with our elf and our c. So this time we're going to use some red, maybe going more for the to the pinkish side of red. I like this color. It's really cute. Reddish with some pink and I think it works really well. This is the darkest part of our dragon, let's go for a lighter color lighter than this. I like this. Bit pastel, can maybe add a bit more. No I like it. Yes, this works. This works for me. Here we go. Now, the horns, I'm not too sure about the color of the horns, but maybe whatever I choose for the belly and the wings, which is going to probably we can use the creams like here, why we have some beige. In this dragon, we have a bit of the same thing, some beige here. Maybe we'll try that. To yellow, I think, this is good. I think I like it. Should we Let me check this color again. Not too sure about this what to do. We can keep it just in the pinkish tones. Making a bit of a monochromatic color palette like this. This can work. Yeah, I think I like this. Our shapes here are very simple and we don't have a whole lot of details, so it's very quick to color our drawing here, or dragon. And it looks so cute. All we are missing is our blush using the same dark pinkish that we used before. There we go. Very cute dragon or less shipy character. These are all the hippy characters for now, and I hope you enjoyed it. Don't go away yet, follow me to the next video where we'll be talking about your assignment. Take your time and I will see you right there. 13. Assignment - Practice Time!: Hello, and welcome back. We've gone through how to draw three different types of fantasy hivy characters. Now it's your turn to draw your own fantasy Shiv. You can use any of the templates I gave you and then add different features to your characters such as wings, horns, fears, and unique costumes. It's all totally up to you and your preferences. If you don't feel like creating an entirely new character, that's fine as well. In that case, you can draw one of the characters from the previous videos. Choose your favorite, and draw it. Whether you draw your own character or one of the ones we did here, everything counts as practice, and you learn and improve on it. So have fun. And when you're finished, don't forget to show me your character by posting them. I can't wait to see them. This is all for this video and your assignment.
