Description I'm finished with the speedpaint I've been working on recently.
I guess it's a bit less speedy than my last one, but not by too much, and I think I've been able to increase the level of detail and scope of the piece.

This one took about 6.5 hours, not including the time to make a basic sketch. That's a LOT faster than my longer pieces.
The process was recorded at [link]

These speedpaints are going to be great practice and a lot of fun.

I've looked everywhere for an artist that depicted dragons exactly the way I like. You're one of the very few. I absolutely LOVE your style and your deviations!

I don't know, I just like it!

The minimalist colour really makes the blue eyes shine, there's a great balance on the level of detail, and the linework is smooth and pretty. I...am not an artist and I think I made half those words up, but this still looks very good! Great job, two thumbs, keep it up!

Nice work, there's still a nice ammount of detail for a speedpaint. It's a nice and touching scene. Aren't those hatchlings cute? I want one.

Thank you very much.

I'm glad that you like the level of detail. I know it doesn't have as much as the pieces I spend longer on, but I'm trying to use the details effectively in these speedpaints.
The hatchlings were so much fun to draw in there.

Aww this is so wonderful I love the gentle mix of the warm and cool colors, along with the sense of scale that's suddenly given with the person there next to the dragon. The baby dragons are insanely adorable. I like the little sleepy one.
So glad to know you're learning so much with these speedpaints

Chromamancer In reply to JesnCin [2013-05-08 12:44:50 +0000 UTC]

Thank you very much.
The little ones were a fun thing to include, here.

That's one of the reasons why I like putting people in these pieces. It makes the pieces easier to relate to, and helps strengthen the sense of scale.
So far, I think these have been a great way to practice.

Dangit, man, you've done it again. This piece is beautiful. And I love the story it tells. It's amazing that you consider paintings like these to be speedpaints. They may not have the same meticulous level of detail of some of your drawings, but in no way is this an incomplete drawing.

Chromamancer In reply to Zeimyth [2013-05-01 03:16:17 +0000 UTC]

Thank you very much.

That's my goal. To make something complete in a shorter amount of time, and then refine that process.
If I can learn to use detail better, and work more efficiently, this should be a great way to practice and improve my art.
