Description
If you want to commission something like this from me, send me a note!This was just a quick mess around piece since 3 people have drawn Reginald for me and I only have one picture of him. Decided to do his face from an angle I wasn't totally comfortable with to give me some practice in that. It was also hard to try and put a sort of expression on him since imo dragonborn really shouldn't make many expressions. Not like they have eyebrows or real lips. I also messed with the contrast a bit since I know sometimes my shadows and highlights can look a little bit faded out especially when I'm not confident about the colors.
Done with the good old mouse in Photoshop.
I had a reference for this but it looks like it was deleted unfortunately. I used it to reference the general position and the hand.

Torek!! This looks amazing! the angle of his head and the posotion of his hand are great--shows his personality perfectly.
I also can't believe you did this with only a mouse. Wow! You're good, my friend. Real good.

Lol thanks mouse isn't too bad, just have to use and abuse masks. Hair is really hard though because the stands are uniform.

You're welcome! I can't even imagine trying to use a mouse...I can see how the hair would be so difficult!

It's how I started so I have a lot of practice. When I drew in high school the lines were scanned in from paper, and then all the colors and shading were with mouse. It was only until a few months ago that I had a proper tablet

Haha, that's how it went for me, too! Scan the lines, color digitally. Except I didn't start coloring digitally until I had a tablet, lol. I can't draw for crap on digital-only, tablet or no.

Lol it took me a bit to get the hang of it. I had a lot of struggles in my earlier years.

Glad I'm not the only one! ^_^ if I get a better tablet, maybe I'll try a digital-only someday.

Wacam's prices don't seem bad and there's probably tech places around you that might have something in clearance

Wacom is what I'm using now, actually. But it's the bottom of the line model, from seven years ago. XD You're right, I might be able to find something on clearance. ^_^

I have my husband's 10 yearold intuos 3 so 10 year old top of the line Steven and i were taking about going in together on a new pro for Christmas since the one I'm using now is super beat up.

Haha, well at least it was top of the line to start. Since art is such a big deal for me, you'd think I'd spring for something better...I'm thinking once I pay off my credit card debt, a new laptop/tablet would be a good investment. And maybe not bottom of the line this time! XD
And you guys should totally do that! Better to combine funds and maybe share the nicer tech.

Right! In high school I had a shit knock off tablet I hated so I thought that I couldn't draw with a tablet. Using a nice one makes a huge difference

I think you're absolutely right! ^_^ I can't wait to get some better tech and see how well I can do.
