Description Don't get your hopes up. (what a cynical ass i am) It's not a good tutorial, but it does teach you a few things, which WILL make it tutorial-like. so there. Drawing dragons, though, is not one of it's best features.

This is three tutorials in one. A dragon hint tutorial; a dragon drawing one -ish (but it's pretty lame), and a pose...giver/ tutorial. This was requested some time ago for the contest.

It's...something. but one thing it's not is professional looking whatsoever; and i think i yell at you the reader more then a teacher should.

And i'll provide links later when it's not 2:45 in the morn.

It's a good first tutorial, but why don't you make what that would teach us how to do dragons like you do? (with coloring )

Unibomber703 In reply to cedrus [2008-07-15 18:23:48 +0000 UTC]

oooyyyy, the coloring! Lemmie get better at it first, then i might be able to teach something. A friend of mine is just starting in photoshop, and came to me for help, asking about masking and linear direction with brushes and etc etc etc, and the best i could do was point and say "I color here..."

Rambios [2008-07-14 09:05:43 +0000 UTC]

This complexity explains why I'm not an artist, yet also explains why every fictional species I've created resides solely in my head... or in text (not on this website, mind you). Of course, trying to picture things in my head is like watching a "bunny-ears TV." It's fuzzier than a rabbit in a blizzard! And for some reason I've got lagomorphs on the brain! O_o

By the way, you lost me on the neck thing. Was that more to do with smoothness of neck-to-head transition?

Oh yeah. And this was humorous, as it was meant to be. It's like the Deviant Art version of watching an X-Play video game review. Oh man! When they tear a game apart, they have fun with it! Ironic as that sounds.

Hmm... guess I went overkill on this comment. You may deploy the duct tape now.

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

Unibomber703 In reply to Rambios [2008-07-14 19:25:12 +0000 UTC]

No duct tape needed. the thing with the head is that a lot of people forget to add transition below the jaws, they just draw the neck jutting out the back of the head- Like where the muscles in the head attatch to, where the tongue would sit, etc- (which the neck does, essentually, but there's more to it then that)

I know what you're talking about with the fuzzy tv... most of the time when i'm trying to visualize, someone keeps flipping the channels....

I'd say i've got the clarity of a TV's from the 1980's.

Rambios In reply to Unibomber703 [2008-07-14 19:29:45 +0000 UTC]

Actually, the duct tape was for my mouth (or did you already know that and just didn't do a separate paragraph? ).
