***Haven't posted in a while so I thought I would show my most recent drawing. This is my first serious attempt with colored pencils....it's of an OC based on my avatar XD I'm also attempting a digital background with paint (hahahahaha) 0.o .... so that will take me a little longer. But feel free to help smile I put my other pictures in links so it won't crowd the post.

*** User Image

Oh, and just in case you all were interested, these links show the process I take to get to the final product (the picture above).

sketch
ink
lightened
partial color ********

New to the guild and thought I would post some of my art. My mediums are pencil, pen (some times), and colored pencil (some times). I mostly do just pencil and shade and lineart as my coloring skills are meager. I do some digital, but mostly traditional. Any comments and critiques are welcome here. But please be polite and respectful towards my pieces, as I do love them and put time and effort into them. I will always appreciate constructive criticism and advice and will embrace it graciously. Thanks, and enjoy.

dragon tree

My dragon tree. I named the piece "Fate" after a song I was listening to when I finished it.

Silens

A dragon I named Silens. I will eventually redo him with better shade, scales, and maybe color.

For "Fate" it took 3 days spread out over the course of a week. Silens took 2 days. The bark of the tree took forever....and so did the scales even though I did a crap job with the scales XD.

Wow, The time taken Shows, And for Silens I don't even think the Bad scale Job Matters It still Looks fantastic, you could have just shaded the picture instead of scales and it would still look Extravagant.

OMFG
I SWEAR I COULD NEVAH DO SOMETHING LIKe THIS IF I TRIED!
I LOVE your style!
It's AMAZINGGG!!!
So much detail...so real and purty...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just got one question and one small comment...

Why are there two moons/planets in the first one?
And my comment is that the larger moon (or) planet should be rounder. =3
Other than that...
BEAUTIFUL!!!

@sweet_bliss_blood: Yeah, I messed up on the moon he sweatdrop Well the reason why there are two moons is because I was thinking "how can I make the background/night sky more interesting?". Then I thought it would be cool if there were two moons. idk, kinda random I guess.

Actually, that was a good idea. It intrigued me XDD
You did a good job cause I just so happened to ask about it...
Anyways....the two moons make it seem like the drawing takes place on a planet in another galaxy or something XD

&& I lurv the dragon scales. You CANT say that sucks or you're gonna make me feel like a cruddy artist.

Posted: Sun Aug 10, 2008 5:43 pm

On a planet in another galaxy far, far away.....jk lol. I actually played with the idea of a back story of this piece but I don't really have one.

I'm just saying i could do a better job with the scales is all sweatdrop
