Fantasy Artist Ed Beard Jr. B/W drawing, fantasy subjects BB

[Lozzz20]

u r amazing! I love fantasy art its awesome how u can think up anything u like and bring it to life :) love the music it sounds like a mix from Halle Berry's catwoman film and Narnia...

[Jopach5]

...man this is awesome...

[cortneylesperance]

wow your really talented. your talent would go great with my creativity. Do you think you could draw me a medium baby sized dragon? I do want it to be red with blue eyes, wings, and etc. but i need to find a pro artist to bring it to life. if you can draw it that would be great, and just let me know so somehow you can send it to me? and what is the name of this song? thank you ed!

[zOmBiEtEeNaGeRs]

beautiful pictures. i love fantasy art. im trying ot draw dragons, but there not looking good. practice makes perfect. thanks for the inspiration. pretty music. what's it called?

[immortaliserwow]

This is rly good.I like pencil drawings. I wanna ask u do u use these fancy elecric erasers and are they a must have or one can learn to touch with precision without them- i rly make a mess sometimes when drawing and cant take advantages of those little shiny spots on mail armor or in thi eyes for example , simply because i smudge them grey with my hand :S

tnx ;)

[kenlablanc]

I use both a kneaded eraser and a standard block eraser soft white. I have heard of the electric erasers. I think to get those highlights you can achieve them by using various erasers.

Thanks

Ed

[Blackkiti]

@immortaliserwow about the smudging thing, you can put a scrap piece of paper there so you can rest your hend there. maybe that will come in handy:) i looove to draw btw

[keegs1666]

beutyful bro. im trying to draw. but cant realy get the shapes right, could u goive me some tips please, i would be realy greatful.

[kenlablanc]

@keegs1666 Understand the basic anatomical structure of whatever you are trying to draw first. think of it as building something from the inside out. That would be the first step in getting a better handle on the form of a subject.

Ed

[kardzhiveir]

you started drawing alone or started making some classes os something?

,because I want so much to draw like you and I'm drawing(copying ;P) some cards of magic the gathering and I'm doing well so far.

i apreciate your art It' looks so real Oo

you're like chuck norris of drawing

5 stars is little for your art

[kenlablanc]

@kardzhiveir Thanks for your words of support. Keep on practicing and copying from what you see as reference is a great way to get familiar with the subjects of fantasy but working your anatomy ( human, reptile, horse, bird etc is key)

[margaretthaile]

Ed! Check out the artwork for the fantasy novel Who is Charlie Keeper? by M Alexander. The artwork was done by Lobak Oren and interestingly has been ripped by graffiti artists and has appeared all over London.

Awesome :)

[leonoratimmis]

[xXLoStLiFeXx]

5stars!!!!!

[joshphil022]

oh yea and isnt this song from the chronicals of narnia? i love that song! keep drawing!

[kenlablanc]

Yes it is from Narnia. Keep up on your drawing. Creating Art and bringing the imaginary things to life is a great job to have!The best part about it is that there can never be to much art out there.

Ed

[legless5461]

From a very big fan Matt

[joshphil022]

your drawings are absolutly beutiful. I can draw almost as good as that but not quite. when i grow up i would like to became a famouse artist one day. thanks your drawings have inspired me. keep drawing!

[Najawix]

Your drawings are so beautifull.. i hope the best to you and keep the good work..

One day maybe i get my skills up to that point.

[fantasiesbymel]

Thank you very much for your kind words about my art, your work is beautiful as well, not many artists use traditional media these days, it's all photoshoped. Anyhow keep doing what you're doing as well it's wonderful! far better than my own ;)

Blessed Be,

Melissa

[bangalaheng]

[kenlablanc]

There are few moments in life when you feel a sense of true accomplishment. Seeing all of these motivated folks and their most generous compliments is always humbling. It is a privilege to motivate and assist all of the folks out there who find some inspiration from my small contribution.

Thanks you all.

Ed

[Vundarg]

You have really inspired me alot Ed. By watching this video and looking at all your pictures I have been drawing everyday and have concetrated on drawing more than ever. I have loved Fantasy and will continue being facanated. True respect!!

[kenlablanc]

I am thrilled to hear that you have been motivated to draw everyday and get deep into drawing! There is no higher compliment. Most humbled. Keep the energy flowing!

Thanks,

Ed

While attending the North Carolina State Ren Fair here in Raleigh, NC, I had the honor of meeting Ed Beard and purchase a beautiful limited print of his which he graciously signed for me. He is a very warm gracious man who takes so much personal time with his fans. Delightful man and an incredible talent!

[kenlablanc]

Thanks so much for your support and likewise, I truly enjoyed the dedicated Fantasy Art enthusiasts in Raleigh NC. I look forward to attending next year as well.

Ed

[Thistledove]

That is great news. I look forward to seeing your art work there again and making another purchase!

Jean

[kenlablanc]

Thanks to all who have left such kind and supportive feedback. Drawing is about the passion and journey to create the illusion of life. If you have the passion then the rest "will" come. Keep on drawing!

Ed

[chelnakonak]
