How to paint epic Warhammer battles in traditional pen and ink

Thomas Elliott artwork.

Awe-inspiring battles are one of my specialities, and in this tutorial I’ll be sharing my process for painting one with inks. We’ll cover everything from early considerations like composition and thumbnailing, to talking about materials and how best to create depth and volume. A lot of these approaches are applicable to images of any size and can be used in more than just battle scenes.

If you're inspired by my tutorial, then read our guides the best pens for artists and best pencils for artists. The approach taken can also be adapted to digital art, so read up on the best digital art software that's right for you. Something like Rebelle or Corel Painter has excellent traditional ink and paint simulation.
