Description
Finally sorted out the composition and finished it.Ebony pencil on Bristol - original size: 11 x 14 inches
Finally broke down and bought an electric eraser. I can't see HOW I ever managed without one before! I highly recommend it as a drawing tool!

Very nice... the composition is laid out well. Even though they're not realistic, I just love the "melty" feeling of the rocks the dragon's on. Good atmospheric perspective too, excepting the dark values in the distance on the water which flatten the sea and disturb the illusion of depth.
That one issue aside, good work!

Thank you!
I can't recall ever drawing such a detailed landscape in pencil before. I wasn't working with any references either. Your criticism is definitely helpful and I'll keep it in mind next time I do a landscape. Thank you very much

Amazing composition - although the dragon is the star of the picture, it looks more like a snapshot of an event than just another dragon drawing. Beautiful shading too!

It's very beautiful! *.* I love the dragon's form and how its wings seem like a smooth thing (like a bat's)... *.*

Thank you
The wings gave me a lot of trouble in the planning stages until I had the chance to talk with the wonderful Jeff Easley at Crescent City CON XX and he gave me some pointers.

Very nice drawing! Good shading done here. Took me a sec before I realised what the creature was but now I got it.

I love all the detail. You did a great job on the background. The wings of the dragon are very cool. The only thing is the length of the neck..seems a bit long unless that's the way you wanted it.

Thank you
The neck is intentionally long. I tried a shorter version... it didn't look right.

Thank you
The composition was absolutely the most difficult part of this piece for me. If you look in my scraps, you'll see some of the stages of evolution and how the end piece became something rather different than my original concept.

An electric eraser? I didn't even know they existed. Love this picture, the water the dragon, what can I say?

Yeah, first I'd heard of an electric eraser was a few years back when I started getting serious about my art. Greatest thing since sliced bread, IMHO!!!

I just posted a response to your thread on the complaint forum and wanted to check out the "bullshit" and I can say that it ISN'T bullshit, your work is so beautiful! I think I'm gonna watch out for other stuff you do from now on!

Thank you, but to be fair, the comment was not posted in response to this or any of my other art. It was a response to a political satire expressing my feelings about Scott Jarkoff being fired and the new adminstration.

I love that! His air of supremecy earns him the title of Master of Wind and Wave
So is an electric eraser pretty much what it sounds like?

Yeup, it's like a Dremel tool... except you use an eraser. It's wonderful!

Oh wow.. lovely pencil work teutel, it looks like something straight out of an illustrated story book. The foreground details are very well donw, as is the dragon's face.

Thank you
Details is something I always kinda... gloss over. I'm learning to be more patient with my art and work at it until it's done rather than rushing through and turning out something that's less than quality. And I can't say it enough... I LOVE my new electric eraser!!!

*.* electric eraser... okay, now I'm jealous....

Do you have Office Depot over there? That's where I got mine. It was around $10 and another $2 for an extra pack of eraser refills. I used it a TON and didn't even come close to using up one refill, so I suspect what came in the original package plus my extras will last quite a long time.

hrm.. if we do, it'll probably only be in london.. I might see if there is an online supplier, an electric eraser sounds like a downright handy tool to have...

It is! I can't believe I've gone so long without one!

Texture is something I sometimes struggle with in my work. I think I'm finally starting to make some progress in that direction.
