Oops. Sorry. Maybe I shouldve warned you I was gunna do a double barrel loop. My bad.

Ya think?

Made with the PS tutorial in the back on Dragonart: Evolution. I've never used half the stuff that was suggested in that thing before this. 

My brother helped me on the coloring...so it dont look nearly as bad as it could have. 
 
I wanted to do it in Photoshop. Spent a good 5-10 minutes on the tail alone. *Kicks tablet*
Imma get a new one soon...maybe.

9 layers.
Rate me how I did? Peas. Like, if my brother played a trick on me and the gr*censored* is really blue?... *colorblind*

Your dragons are amazing, but I love your people too. o^o

I adore that first picture. I'd love to own a piece of your art like that.

LOL. I only have 5 good tablet drawings. I mainly do traditional...less complicated. Plus my tablet is a poo-head and is all warped on the inside, so most of my lines look like they're on crack...

 

(Gift for Feyth. She joined a RP first. XD) Dun lookit the tree. *dies*

For Kobra. I messed up on the hood, so Imma fix it later today.

And the pièce de résistance... 

Carpe Nox...with a rainbow barf sunset (Even I can tell that. XD)

 

That one killed me. >> 
And my stomach. Serious cramps.

I've read that Dragonart book actually; but I'm sorry to say that I found it generally useless. I don't recommend you learn from that book even. It's got them step by step thing going on and really, you're drawing in Peffer's (If I'm correct, that's the author's name) style, not yours. Really, it's like copying someone else's work. I can actually see Peffer's style written all over your dragon drawings. Though it does offer a few hints for photoshop, I still think it's better that you experiment and develop your own technique. It's okay to read a few tutorials, but please don't base your art completely around those tutorials. I don't think you're a bad artist, but it's just that I think you're heading the wrong direction, that's all. Sorry if I was a bit cruel or anything. D8

Another problem I have with them is that I think you're attempting large full blown pieces when your skill isn't really up to it. You need to step down a bit and do smaller things. Perfect smaller projects to improve your skill so that you can take on bigger ones. Really, I only attempt the full blown thing like, once a year. And you've done 4 in less than a week, gotta give a hand to the effort. Just slow down a bit, 'kay?  xD

Okay, now one more thing. I think you know where all the lines and stuff go, but don't actually know what they are. I see a bunch of lines there and it looks as though you were like 'okay, now there's a little line here at the end of the arm, just before the hand' (what I'm referring to is the ball of the ulna; of course it's just an example). However, it doesn't appear as if you know what shape the ulna is within the arm and how's it placed at different poses. Really, all I'm saying is that there's a slight observation problem here. I suggest you do more observational drawings. Y'know, do a still life of your own arm or someone else? Just to get a better understanding of anatomy and stuff. Also, you should look at anatomy diagrams. It just helps. 

Oh and is your tablet broken or something? 'Cause in the last three pictures, it didn't appear as if you had pressure sensitivity or anything. Get it fixed. Your pressure and tilt sensitivity is your god from now on, okay? D<




I (HATE)' YOU

Feel the love man D:<

I dont do the step by step things. Occasionally, I'll try one of Peffers techniques to see if it's easier or makes more sense, but generally I just do my own thing with em. I cant help that the way I draw resembles another persons art. Compared to 2-3 years ago........

I draw these on paper and then trace them. I just outline my sketches and color them. 0o

Yes, my tablets broken. Sinse 6 months after I got it bout 2 years ago. >> The lower left hand corner is bout the only place that I can work with, so a lot of my lines are scribbled (Cause thats all I can do on the right side) and erased on either side of the line or I use hold the shift key and click with the mouse to use the straight line thingamajig. The middles the same way. 
I think now that mams finally figured out what I wanna do she might get me a Wacom. The one I've been using in a Genius. Or whatever the brand is. It's large, bulky, and really thin...bout the depth of my pinky nail, really. But nooo. Da just wanted me to have one with an active surface the size of a piece of paper...-_-

 Thank you, Ping. I've got some anatomy diagrams somewhere...I think. I'll look for others. :)
