Description
This is a birthday/christmas present for my dear friend, It's a charcoal and prismacolor pen piece, on a 20x26" Strathmore textured white paper.
This was very healthy for me to do. I was able to get lost in this drawing, enjoy drawing the details and shaping it over time. Took about 7 hours to get the image where I wanted it to be, and another 5 hours touching up details and creating the same, smooth textures. I know it's not perfect- but I was doing my best combining what I consider a stylized tattoo, with anatomically correct wings. You can't really see a lot of the right wing (on purpose), but that is a dragon wing. Sorry it's so hard to tell. x.xΒ
I did not put a mature filter on here because it's symbolic blood, and it's barely there at all. If you feel that this piece bothers you though, inform me, and I will put a filter on it.
Materials Used: Strathmore 20x26" textured white paper, Prismacolor pens (red and black), assorted charcoals, pencil.
Time spent: ~12 hours
Fallen Angel is only for 's use. He will be given the original tomorrow.

Wow, it looks incredible beautiful!
I think you should draw much more often in the traditional style.
You know I always loved your tradiontal style, especially your dragons! ^-^
In this piece I love especially the wings, they're very well done!
The anatomy is just perfect!
Keep it up!

Thank you so much, Mana! It's definitely one of my best pieces, and it's framed up in my friend's apartment.

Amazing! This is really, really beautiful! I love the contrast between the bright red and the black 'n white of the rest of the piece. Her wings looks awesome, I wish I could draw wings like that!! The feathers looks so real and detailed ^^ Great job, lovely

Thank you so much, dear! I'm really glad you like her; if you ever want to try angel wings I would strongly recommend the tutorial I linked, I know it helped me a ton.

That would be really handy, as I'm working on a pair of wings now and I'm kinda stuck with them stupid feathers. I tried several tutorials but I never really get the effect I want em to have! Β
You're welcome Β

Okay dear! I have one more tutorial I can offer you- it's from the artist LadyAway, not sure if you know her but I'm not gonna ping her because... she's busy. Anyways, her tutorial is rather long, and even though it isn't entirely perfect about in-flight movement, she can offer you a few more ways to draw wings. This is my first go-to tutorial when I need to see wings in motion.
Hope that helps dear!

Thank you so much The tutorial really helped with drawing the feathers, but I'm still stuck on colouring them. I guess I'll just make normal dragon wings, those are cooler and more fun anywayz
Not as complicated as feathers
