Tiny dragon is ΓΌber-cute as always ^^
His mommy don't look too nice, though o.o She looks like she wants herself some humie-meat o.o
I love the way you made the girl's hands look. So real and with all the wrinkles where they should be

Gotta love those details in this drawing.
Lovely work with the lights and shades.
I like the fact how real this pic seems.
And that huge Dragon in the backround is awesome, so are the woman and the baby dragon.
An amazing picture

I pretty much stick to the standard hard edge brush in photoshop for, well, the hard edges, and the standard soft edge brush for soft and gradient tones.

Cheers ma'am! Had a palette of bright colours in my head I wanted to use on this one even before I started the sketch - I wanted the feel of a sunny day, and I'm fairly pleased with how the colours worked in the end.

You're welcome. It certainly does look and feel sunny in the picture (:

can u teach me how do u paint hair with mouse please... T^T

I tend to create a lot of masked areas with the pen tool when painting hair, though I have been experimenting with drawing more strands 'freehand' with a very tiny brush. Haven't really worked out a technique I am entirely happy with yet though - its something I'm working on too!

yes i was doing it mine like that though i could not master it >,< but just recently i discovered the opaque round camel hair Oil tool in corel paint 9 its really has a real thin strands that i wnt for a straight hair! all i need to master is how to add the volume and shape also the shading since its very flat stroke XD

I Have a Question, Dave. Do you do commisions? Because I have some funny characters who lives in a medieval age. And someday I'll like to see them in your style and color.

Unfortunately I dont do commissions - never seem to have enough time in my days as it is! Like the sounds of your characters though!
Cheers my friend!
