Description An entire dump full of my feathered beasties FACE.

Anyway, I wanted to continue playing around with painting and sketching over all, as well as figuring out once and for all, Elzatros's colors. I'm finally working up a ref for him. But for now, a bunch of concepts/sketches.

I need help drawing a frontal facial view of him T_T

Also, I realize that his colors are a little too vibrant for my own liking.. It doesn't help that my monitor is so bright. I'm actually still tweaking his colors a bit, but more or less, this is him

You're welcome!

Nah. Most complex thing I came up with was a couple of skeleton guys, and they're only complicated because of all the bones, not because of patterns and ornaments like yours. c:

I'd luv to ruffle my hands through that mane thingy of his the lil' precious.

Assuming that it isn't fire of course, ouch.

Oh my gosh, me too <3 no its all feather, no fire when I get around to his ref, I'll reduce the vibrance in his colors, to make it look less firey and a little more natural. he's all feathers! Softy

This is awesome! I love the colours (they don't seen too bright for me) and the front view looks great! I love how you've don't the feathers too, I find them so hard T_T

Thank you so much!!! I'm fairly fond of his color palette as well and I'm really glad that it's not too bright for you! Yes, feathers are actually a challenge, but practice practice practise. There's lots of good tutorials and references out there too

Anytime!
Yeah, I mean in terms of a bunch of feathers, basically in  my own species, they have feathers in the place of hair and I just find it difficult to make it look like feathers and not just like clumps of hair. I'm getting better though. Looking at great pictures like yours gives me tips and ideas

I used to have a problem where my feathers would look like leaves x_x without a certain shape to it, they tend to look funny for me.. but these are rather quick sloppy, non-detailed feathers :s but thank you, I'm very glad to hear that

I'm just not so used to drawing frontal views, they are intimidating for me xc But thank you!!

ahh i understand
but at least you do better than me
i can never draw the front of my dragons and stuff LOL

itz-Rascal In reply to TranslucentRainbow [2014-06-05 19:35:50 +0000 UTC]

it's really a challenge for me, and for most others as well, i bet!

TranslucentRainbow In reply to itz-Rascal [2014-06-06 18:10:47 +0000 UTC]

I'm sure you could do it with just a bit of practice, since you got the one you drew there to look really good ; 7 ;
Yeah, probably~!
Also for me i have the problem of imagining what my dragons look like from the side, but not the front so it's kind of hard for me to translate front views onto any sort of canvas.

itz-Rascal In reply to TranslucentRainbow [2014-06-06 23:06:11 +0000 UTC]

Oh jeez really? I find side shots the easiest thing For me... then again I've only ever mainly drew side shots of almost all my creatures. I have a harder time with the fronts xc

you should attempt a little sketch dump of faces from the front
maybe it would help to sketch a bunch out ;c;

Take a look :0 darkdragonxxxxx.deviantart.com…

Mind you, this was like.. 3 years ago, and I've never used watercolors before, i was treating them as if they were more acrylic.. Plus, this was a very old concept of Elzatros!

Not too bad for the first time!! Painting in general is a hard medium to master,
especially if you're a line artist! It's all about transparency! But damn, his colors changed up!
I love the update. Cannot wait to see your other babies!

itz-Rascal In reply to Buhaaghule [2014-06-06 00:26:20 +0000 UTC]

Painting is a pain, but I wish I had the materials and drive to do it... yea, he had a huge color update. I liked his colors before, but it didn't wow me enough, didn't pop out and didn't seem to fit "The Crimson Beast"

Thank you, again, more on the way soon
