I've loved dragons for ever and so I figured hey let me try. I did this pic for an "about me" on a site Im working on for a comic I want to start...and judging by my track record, wont get it done...BUT OK anyway this took me in total at least 5-6 hours...maybe less. It's weird becuase this is maybe the fourth dragon I've drawn ever and not to toot my own horn but I've amazingly never started of drawing crappy dragons...maybe I have a knack for them yet hahaha
Well I hope everyone likes it. I know it amatuer, remember I know, so critque me if you want. I'd appreciate it....Oh thats me by the way lol yay me!
This would make a great About Me illustration. It's great to hear how you're slowly getting back into drawing from your block! I can't wait until I can say the same... I've been in a creative slump for quite a few months now... but anyway
I think the area where you can see the tip of the tail would make a great area for text if you ever decided to put text directly on the image. I'm really feelin' your new style too! You, (the girl), are not in that generic animé style that has become so tired out and boring. My style has changed a bit too as I'm really into American styled animation, but I still fuse both East and West styles as I really love realistic East styles. Your dragon comment made me laugh too... for drawing them so little you do have a knack! They eye is pretty cool too.
As for critique, I'd say it's pretty well drawn. I like how you're trying to draw different views and poses. Very important! As for the coloring, don't be afraid to get darker with shading in some areas. Contrast is one of the most important things an artist should take advantage of. You want the viewers eye to focus on what is closer to them (such as the dragon's neck and head). How you have it colored now, the tail seems to be the same distance as the neck. One way to fix this is by having the neck a lighter shade of the color with whatever is farther a bit darker. Don't be afraid to slightly blur out what's farther away too. Think of how a camera focuses on what's closer to it rather than what's farther away. Other than that, great illustration buddy!
Looking forward to more.
