Hi guys

This week we’ll be taking a look at three evil sorcerers. These form the bulk of the leaders in fantasy stories.

three sorcerers

Have a look at this week’s pic.

I’ve drawn three examples of the typical evil sorcerer.

The first is the nomad traveler type. He wears the robe with hood, but is very unassuming and keeps to himself and plots in secret.

The defining features are the nose and beard. Also, when possible, hard shadows are a good idea to emphasize that he is evil. (See the blog on mysterious characters).

The second picture is exactly the same as the first except sometimes the Sorcerer has been able to live through death and been consumed by his magic. In this case he’s undead and has a skull for a head. Not only is this creepy, but shows he has total control of all things.

Once again, look at the shadows and keeping parts of his features hidden.

The last picture is the obviously sinister type. This one makes no attempt to hide the fact that he’s evil. He has power and he’s not afraid to use it.

Tip: Adding war paint, a mask, hideous scars or shiny glowy eyes helps to show that he is not a normal person and makes him scary.

Have a look at these and try creating your own villain!
