Description Like every once in a while, I remember I it has been a long time since I have drawn a proper dragon drawing.
This time its the finished drawing of [link]

Used markers, colour pens, colour pencils, pencils, multiliner pen, and crayon for this piece.

Im really happy with how it came out, but it made me feel how limited I am in my current medium.
For instance, I mainly use markers for basic colouring, background and big surfaces. But I only had one red marker, two greens, one yellow, one orange ect.
This is actualy the reason why I started to use mixed media in the first place, to compensate for my lack of colours.
But still its a world of difference between digital painting, when you have full controll over the hue, saturation and volume, and a traditional piece in which you have a specific set of colours.

Tried to create a dynamic shading\lighting, with varying colour for the shadows and such. And personally I believe it came out well XD;;

Tell me what you think

I think so too, but for many reason while drawing this I felt how limited I am in my medium and in my current level of skill. If only I could draw and draw, day in and day out~

This is awesome, but for some reason, this dragon looks like an evil,wilder version of Charizard. o.o

Lathrin In reply to ShadowCrowAssassin [2012-01-14 19:47:23 +0000 UTC]

But its ok, if I had lots of marker I might wouldnt have tried to use them with other things (pens, pencils, water colours and everything else XD)

Most of my markers I bought in Japan, when I still wasnt sure how usefull they are and how much will I use them (and they are quite expensive).
So next time Ill be there..
