Art, illustration and doodles of Jonathan Grimes

Just thought I'd drop a link here of Jonathans fantasy art blog which you might want to check out with some amazing and quite inspiring artwork. Especially with this Red creature which early on looks like a Small Red Dragon or Demon of some sort, but that may change as Jonathan goes along with this piece of digital art... - Art, illustration and doodles of Jonathan Grimes: Fantasy creature WIP....:

The Amazing Fantasy Art Of Other Zazzle Designers

I like to look at art quite often and I get inspired by other artists work on a regular basis and when I look at other artists work on Zazzle I think how often can I better my own, but not saying mine is bad, just to say that heir are some exceptional artists out there also who may have done some professional work or commissions around the internet.

What strikes me though is the quality of some of these artists work and the effort they put into it, you can see that they love their work and what they do, so this is their gallery of fantasy art and related fantasy art with paintings and art prints galore.

Zazzle is also a really great business if you concentrate all of your efforts into it, the creation of designs may be easy but the marketing of all of your hard work becomes the hard work and the most important part of your zazzle business, but if you look online, then you will find lots of free advice, plus on zazzle they have a pdf that goes through the things you could do to promote your zazzle galleries.

Here you can go and find advanced promotion methods for your zazzle promotions.

One thing to remember with Zazzle is that it's a great site to brand yourself and get the word out on your art, plus you can have more than one account and build multiple online stores for different themed art.

Trying to think of inspiration in fantasy art

I often look for new inspiration in fantasy art, I seem to have a few days when I cannot think of anything to draw.

Or there are certain days when I know what I want to draw but hat does not happen for what ever reason, why does this happen, I know I'm not alone, writers have the same problem, writers block can also be artists block.

How do you concentrate your time into something meaningful, something that will get you the results that you want?

Well here are three of the best ways to do this!

First, always try and draw even if you can't, find some time away from distractions, this is easily achieved by setting up a work space away from kids, away from the television and even the nagging wife ( for the wifes of the world reading this, just give your other half a shiny new toy to play with, a gadget perhaps!!)

Drawings can also be conceptual in design and not that clear, so try and sketch and draw with a simple idea in mind or a collaboration of ideas.

Second, watch what other artists are doing, they see and they create far more in tune with their subject than others, so see them, study them and get inspired by who you have to to succeed at creating some great fantasy art.

Reference images and other photos can help too, so watch out for these in your world of searching for inspiration.

And last of all third, Set yourself a schedule for your art, plan ahead and work on everything that you create, but don't over work existing drawings, as this will become too populated with line marks and just produce rather muddy results, always try and find your way of knowing when to stop drawing.

An overworked drawing may not look right, but you also waste time doing this, you want to maximize your time by drawing more instead of going over pencil lines again or adding unnessecary detail.

Always try and stick to these three main principals in everything that you draw and you will be fine for fantasy art.
