Fantasy art is quite a popular subject and choice for artists, as there is much range and exploration that is free in fantasy art, as the only limit is your own imagination.

Fantasy worlds are household names aswell as characters and creatures too, elves, fairies, dragons and goblins to name a few are often referenced quite often as things people can identify with and interpret their own visions.

The world of fantasy is an escape for some, whether it be on the television, reading a favourite book or comic, or even acting in a film, for others it's a way of expressing their own ideas and art with what they imagine or wish the world was like.

Creating worlds and characters from your head is like pouring all of your knowledge into a medium of your choice, some people write fantasy fiction, others draw and paint fantasy while others just think fantasy and surround themselves within it.

The art of professional fantasy artists like Boris Vallejo and Julie Bell for instance are great inspiring to look at.

Fantasy art is rather a personal one to follow your own path, learning what excites you about the art genre the most and running with your favourite ways of presenting your fantasy art to the world.

Most of the time however you will paint and draw what you see around you and build this reality frame work into a collection of fantasy artwork, seeing others work as a reference or creative inspiration can be quite useful too, everyone has their own way of working and one that may work for you, by studying others work you may find solutions that can be applied in your own work.

Dragon fantasy art is perhaps the most popular art that I see on the internet and one that can have multiple variations as dragons don't have to look the same, they can be different colours and are often painted into their surroundings which make for some excellent paintings and masterpieces of art.

All of the popular fantasy artists have done a dragon painting at some stage of their professional career and one for artists not acustomed to this to do so as soon as possible with the dragon art medium.

Online and offline there are chinese dragons, Japanese tribal tattoo designs, traditional dragon art and more, just fantastic.
