Description
This one was fun. I spent the last couple weeks drawing him whenever I was on the train or doing laundry... the laundry dragon! I like the shading on this picture a lot more than most of my others anyway, I experimented a bit more with it. Mainly I drew him to practise flight (the back legs! Auugh!) and angling of limbs and so forth.Biro... eight hours-ish?
And also this is my half of an art trade with - go see the other awesome half here: [link] !

Hi there! Sorry, but since I did this as part of an art trade I would prefer you didn't use it. Feel free to borrow small features and draw them in your own style though.

This is really awesome! I think his limbs look fine, he looks as if he's jumping into flight. I'm lovin' style of the skull, and the way the skin clings to it, as well as the size of his talons, they look really powerful! On that note, the muscle structure here looks pretty dang logical, the anatomy here is also great. The shading here is awesome, the positioning of his wings, the level of detail... all amazing.
There is one thing that looks a little odd. His upper torso/ribcage makes him look a teeny bit chunky. Other than that, though, this is really awesome! :]

CF: He is a tad chunky. >>; I built up a lot of the bones and muscle around his chest and shoulders for protection and wing support. Yeah, the skull is the bit I like though... and those talons. XD I'm glad you like it, and thanks for such a nice comment!

Before I even comment on this, it is going in my favourites.... I don't think I've ever seen such a detailed, stunning dragon drawn with biro with little to no mistakes (back legs? Psh, what about them?). He's so original, and it's very refreshing to see.
As for your '
You've done phenomenally for biro to get those tones of shading and highlights into it but you've managed it and it looks beautiful. I see nothing out of shape and the bone structure and the ribcage and the dragons snout really catch my eye, as these are shaded so well. This would look truly beautiful coloured, and I can almost see it swooping from the sky.
You have really surpassed yourself my little Muffin~ As said before, this is definitely a
