I have to thank you greatly for your help in my journey to becoming a skilled artist! I saw your colour tutorial and it helped me to understand colour better! I couldn't seem to find a good teacher of colours and the effects of lights and darks. Glad I discovered you! Thanks again! :-D Keep up the beautiful artwork

Oh, dios, gracias XDDD es que te ha quedado genial, generalmente queda mal si se hace con texturas, y cuando se hace escama por escama... queda demasiado bien ^^"

amazing tutorial, I really enjoyed it - and I guess it wll help me alot, since I have to draw a dragon via photoshop, too - and until now I was kinda desperate how to do it, since I haven't any experience in computer coloration ^^"

So, thanks

Can you help me?I use photoshop cs 4 and I have it since a few days so I dont know this programm XD

vandervals In reply to TaNa-Jo [2011-06-20 13:11:39 +0000 UTC]

TaNa-Jo In reply to vandervals [2011-06-21 11:48:25 +0000 UTC]

okay XD And When I draw the first step(the grey things) must I draw everything at one layer or each thing at a different layer?like sky, dragon, background..?
