In Chrissa Barton’s inaugural book, How to Draw Your RPG Character, you learned the basics of drawing the faces and figures of all the different character types and classes of Dungeons & Dragons and other role-playing games.

Now, step it up with tutorials on customising your character to make it uniquely your own. Chrissa covers in step-by-step detail how to draw:

• All weights of armour, from light protection for a rogue or druid to full heavy armour suitable for a fighter or paladin
• Robes, cloaks, and other clothing
• Accessories like boots, a wizard’s hat, different styles of helmets, and gloves
• All manner and styles of swords, as well as hammers, bows and arrows, and magic staffs
• Musical instruments like the lute and drum
• Potion bottles and scrolls
• Symbology to include in the design of clothing, weapons, and armour to communicate lineage or allegiance

There is also a chapter devoted to how to draw a selection of creature companions that includes:

• Wyvern
• Owlbear
• Wolf
• Horse and unicorn
• Raven

The final chapter shows how to put it all together, with tutorials for fully drawn characters customised with details that pull from all the tutorials included in the book.

With its layflat binding and more than 500 step-by-step illustrations, How to Draw Your RPG Character: Armor, Weaponry, & Creature Companions makes customising your fantasy character fun and easy!
