Description Haha, they were supposed to be dragons, but I guess they can be dragons with snake-like features.

Wow, this is awsome! I've been lacking inspiration as of late and this may have sparked something ^^

I love how the tubes have such detail and are so realistic, whereas the paint are little snakey dragon thingies ^^ Nice mix of realism and surrealism

A truly beautiful piece. It looks very realistic too.
You must have used a reference for those tubes, eh? I can almost touch them!
..What media did you use for this?
Those snakedragons kinda look like candy by the way, yum yum.

hehe, thanks! I used my actual oil paint tubes as still life and it's done with colored pencils.

Also, the paints in the background were kinda hard for me to visualize, so I made a clay sculpture of the snakes as reference XD

Hani7 In reply to dragofyre7 [2007-01-27 11:52:01 +0000 UTC]

Haha, wow! So you work with clay too?
Sounds like you really planned this drawing well.. making a sculpture of it to get it right.
And it obviously paid off because the result is very, very good.
Did you make a pencil sketch of it first or did you start with the colored pencils right away?

dragofyre7 In reply to Hani7 [2007-02-11 18:41:55 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! I'm not all that good with clay... I just play around with it a bit. And yes, I made a pencil sketch at first. In fact, quites a few sketches to plan out the composition

Goodie. Because planning is essential. Most of the time...
I gotta get better at keeping that in mind cause I don't really do planning >_<

I'm not all that creative; thinking up ideas give me headaches! And I made my avatar a few years ago, back when I was really into Neopets.
