5.5"x9" Copic fineliner, white gel pen, coffee

Working at home makes me feel pretty claustrophic sometimes if I don't get out enough, so sometimes I'll spend a good chunk of time in a cafe or something (assuming they're not too busy), get some lunch or breakfast, and then spend a few hours doodling in my sketchbook while I have a coffee.

I started drawing this guy's head in ink without sketching anything out beforehand, not really knowing what I was going for. Once I got to the wings I started sketching first though, it's hard to get wings to look good unless I block out the muscles beforehand.

The original's available in theΒ Store Β

Nah, I just titled it that as sort of an homage to back when people considered Venus to be a good candidate for hosting complex alien life

I shouldn't be surprised there's Venusian Dragons in literature, though the thought hadn't crossed my mind before.

This is impressive when you know it started as a random doodle. The first things I noticed were the wing muscles. The second was the very cool mouthpiece. This is a really neat critter.
