As you can see, my head is filled with Eiffel towers, French book, some French words, and Swiss cheese; because Swiss cheese is easily distinguishable from other cheese and easy to draw.
Before my busy month I promised an explanation regarding the title of the blog. It boils down to this:
 |
| An Elf(?) |
 |
| A dragon (thing) fighting a knight |
 |
| Wizard. Duh. |
What do all these things have in common? Traditional high fantasy stuff (not pictured: Dwarves, Trolls, Orcs, Gnomes, Good Drawings, Magic, Rings, Amulets, etc). You know what else they have in common? No unicorns. Fantasy is all about being creative. The only things that are not fantasy are things that are real. Simple. Somehow, fantasy became all about Elves, Dwarves, wizards, and dragons shooting fireballs at each other and waging epic wars. While fun concepts, (who doesn't like dragons or fireballs?) this can get boring.
All of this was the subject of a recurring discussion I had with Fiancee, at which point she asked me what happened to all the unicorns? (If you haven't seen The Last Unicorn, you should). Long story short, this blog was going to be about drawing unicorns, and not just fanciful happy-go-lucky unicorns, but also unicorn war-machines, and unicorn airships, and unicorn armies...and now I've fallen prey to the fantasy genre trap. No matter, unicorns are ridiculously hard to draw. Largely because they are horses with horns, and horses are ridiculously hard to draw. Case in point:
This is the same one I drew last time.
Instead of drawing unicorns (I'll work up to it?), I'll be drawing some of my favorite, or at least moderately interesting, scenes from various novels. My next post should include a couple of large birds fighting...maybe.
