Hey everyone! I love doodling, especially when it comes to fantasy stuff. There’s something fun about drawing whimsical things that are far from our ordinary world.
I find it really relaxing, and honestly, it’s a great way to let my creativity flow without feeling pressured.
In this post, I want to share 10 simple fantasy doodle ideas that anyone can try. These are perfect if you’re just starting out with drawing or if you want a quick and easy creative project.
I used my drawing tablet to make these drawings, but you can use any drawing tool you have on hand.
I’ve also added some color to my doodles to make them pop. You can do the same, or just keep them as simple line drawings. It’s all up to you!
1. Mushroom
First up, we have the humble mushroom. In fantasy stories, mushrooms often pop up in magical forests or enchanted gardens. Sometimes they’re just part of the scenery, and other times they have magical properties, like the ability to heal or to grant wishes.
I chose red for the cap, with white dots and cream white for the stem. These colors, especially the red and white combination are commonly found in various fantasy stories.
2. Witch Hat
Next, we have a classic – the witch hat! Witch hats are a staple in fantasy. They immediately make you think of spell-casting, potion-brewing, and maybe even flying on a broomstick.
Witches are a classic archetype found in fantasy stories. They’re often shown as powerful magic users. Whether they use their powers for good or evil, a witch hat always adds a sense of mystery and magic.
Drawing a witch hat is pretty straightforward. The pointed design and wide brim is what makes this hat stand out.
3. Potion
Potions are a must-have in any fantasy setting. Think about it – they can heal wounds, grant temporary powers, or even transform the drinker. In many stories, potions are crucial for the heroes to overcome challenges.
To draw a potion bottle, I started with the narrow neck and a small stopper on top. I added a few bubbles inside to make it look like it’s brewing. I used a bright purple for the liquid, a brown stopper, and a lighter red for the bubbles.
4. Broom
Brooms are often associated with witches and wizards. While they might seem ordinary, in fantasy worlds, they can be enchanted to fly, making them a fun and iconic mode of transportation. It is usually associated with witches. Its a fun doodle idea for beginners.
For the broom, I drew a long, thin handle. Then, I added a bunch of short, slightly curved lines at the bottom for the bristles. I gave the handle a dark color and used a light brown for the bristles.
5. Sword
Swords are a classic symbol of heroism, bravery, and battle. In fantasy, swords are often wielded by knights, warriors, and adventurers. Sometimes these swords have special powers or are linked to a character’s destiny.
Drawing a sword is easier than you might think. I started with a curved handle. Then, I added the blade. I used a red color for the handle, and a light blue color for the blade. This doodle is really simple, but you can make it more detailed by adding different designs to the handle and blade.
6. Shield
Where there’s a sword, there’s often a shield! Shields are used for protection and defense. In fantasy battles, they can deflect blows from weapons, arrows, and even magical attacks. They are often decorated with symbols or crests that represent a kingdom, a family, or a specific hero.
My shield drawing started with a simple curved shape, like an upside-down teardrop. I drew a straight line across the middle and added a few dots for rivets. I colored it in with browns and silver.
7. Cauldron
Cauldrons are big pots used for brewing potions, cooking magical stews, or even casting spells. They’re often associated with witches and wizards, and they add a touch of mystique to any scene.
I drew my cauldron with a large, and round body. I added three stones at the bottom to make it stand. I also drew fire coming from the cauldron. I used a dark purple for the cauldron itself.
8. Magic Jar
Magic jars can hold all sorts of interesting things – captured spells, rare ingredients, or even tiny magical creatures. They’re like little containers of potential, waiting to be opened. Jars are used to store various ingredients in fantasy stories.
For my magic jar, I drew a simple jar shape with a wide opening and a lid on top. I used a light blue for the jar, a dark blue for the lid and a bright yellow for the magic inside. I also used a darker shade of blue for the bottom of the jar to give it some dimension.
9. Dragon Egg
Dragon eggs are full of promise. They represent the potential for new life, power, and maybe a little bit of danger. Dragons are huge creatures in fantasy stories. Many fear it, while few tries to train it.
These are magnificent beings that comes in all shapes and sizes. Dragons are symbols of great power in the stories. In many stories, hatching a dragon egg can be a major turning point, setting off a chain of exciting events.
To draw a dragon egg, I started with a basic egg shape. I chose green color for the. The texture is the key part of this doodle.
10. Crystal Ball
Last but not least, we have the crystal ball. Crystal balls are often used for seeing into the future or scrying on distant events. They’re a classic tool for fortune-tellers, wizards, and anyone who wants to glimpse beyond the ordinary.
My crystal ball drawing started with a simple circle. I added a few highlights and shadows to make it look like it’s made of glass. Then, I drew a small stand at the bottom to keep it in place.
So there you have it – 10 easy fantasy doodle ideas to get you started. I hope you have fun with these. I know I did. And who knows, maybe these simple doodles will spark your imagination and lead you to create even more awesome fantasy art.
