Description One of my proudest pieces yet, the Chinese dragon! I used a 2in X 3in (5.08cm X 7.62cm) tattoo for reference on the dragon's head...and I think you can see the resemblence in the two. XD The dragon's about 10in X 5in (25.4cm X 12.7cm) compared to the relatively small tattoo. Oh and I placed the tattoo in there to show that I draw freehand, and not tracing. Some people who don't know me assume that I trace all of my art, until they actually watch me draw them.

Thank you very much for the comment. Yeah, I put a lot of effort into this picture since I was using the dodge and burn tools on each and every one of the scales. Thank goodness that the scales weren't so small. lol I didn't really try to make the mane shiny, but I got carried away and I used the dodge brush on that mane a lot.

nice job! this is so friggen awesome!
(just an FYI, the chinese word for dragon (In pinyin) is Long, not Lung. (example being HuoLong, fiery dragon)
i dont want to be a "I told you so" or a "your wrong" kinda guy. so its just for your info. )
