Thanks much for making this! i knew how to apply textures before, but i didn't know how to colourize them XD i do have a question though, i work on a mac and i'm not sure what "ctrl + g" would equal to for my computer (when i press command + g it just makes a folder to organize my layers); if you or someone who reads this, can help it would be very much appreciated!

You're very good at explaining things, so your tuts are excellent.

My texturing usually turns foul so I rarely use them save for throwing a background on something I don't want to leave blank. Mebbe I'll give it another go~

I'd really like to see a tutorial on how you draw scales. I've always really liked that about your art. The way the scales lay on your dragon's bodies looks so natural. Mine always look kinda clunky.

Shinerai In reply to TeknicolorTiger [2009-07-31 20:40:35 +0000 UTC]

I dont know how to do it though, i just kinda like. . draw little lines and D: shade 'em.

Raptorbane In reply to ??? [2009-07-30 02:24:44 +0000 UTC]

Hey Shinerai, I went to one of the websites in this tutorial (I never had a website to actually get any textures, so I was never able to use 'em.) I saved a few I liked and I think I found the one that you used in this tutorial, haha. So I used it on one of my newer doodles, messed around a bit, and got this~
