Oh wow. Love how so...smooth this is. It really feels like they're soaring through the sky on a bright sunny day. And such smooth shading x.X

They do for me, generally I'd think they do as you can wield a tablet pen as you would a pencil (with practice though, your eye is trained straight ahead rather than down in front of you - it takes some getting used to).

I just love your dragons... They are always so majestic. Where did you learn to draw them the way you do? I want to start drawing mine a bit more realistically, I just need to know where to start.

Pterosaurs, birds, and bats are the best candidates for wings in my opinion. The best way to better understand wings visually and structurally is to use references and research how they work in the first place. :>

Cool, thanks Sky! I'll start looking for refs and photos of those animals now. ^^

Rekalnus [2012-02-18 22:23:39 +0000 UTC]

Always beautiful. The interesting part here is the pose, the way the tail is circled shows that a quick turn was made and the grip of the rider goes right with that, very active for a still view! Seeing your results on painting basic sky is leading me to prefer doing that for my aviation paintings versus just using stock photos or simpler cloud brushes.

Have you changed your coloring style? o3o Because this looks more organic(and painterly) than the way you've been coloring so far. I like this

Loving the poses and the motion! c:

The overall method is the same, just made some harder brush strokes in certain areas. C:

Awesome! I love how you portrayed the depth with the wing tip and the tail out of focus. So awesome! This picture has so much energy. <33
