Description I have been trying to get that pose for ages! Not until I was trying to teach someone how to draw dragons did I get it XD Anyway, really pleased with this one too.

Wow so much detail. That is amazing! what kind of medium did you use? photoshop or pencil posibly. Whatever the medium it is really beautiful.

Thanks! These works take the longest due to the time taken to create that detail. They also are my favorite works.

With the mediums, you are correct, I use both here. The line and shading work is done in pencil. Then I use photographs to create colourful textures to my dragon's scales. Then dodge and burn the textures to fit the shading.

ROOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRR RRRRR!
cough, cough... a glass of water might be good right now.

Don't know if the dragon is roaring. I think it is just happy to be out flying in the cool night air.
