lucoYes, I have indeed been working on the dragon today as well as all of the requested sketches ^___^
Just wanted to wait till I had a few photos ready before I showed you the progress. It's almost got all the colours down. . . and then I'll have to go add a bit more shadows in a few areas, add a few small highlights and redo then ink and then it will be done!
So the rocks got shaded with more ink and a dead brush. It was a pain in the ass doing all that ;__;
And this is how the rest of the picture looks with the black and white shading ^___^ Not too bad huh? But i know where i went wrong. Since I'm bringing this too full colour, I should have left more areas white. Well, I know for next time at least! And i kinda wished I had used my brown inks since colour looks nicer over it...
water with colour and no, the dragon isn't going to be green ^___^ the highlights just look that way.
Next, grass and trees. . . man I'm going to have to really redo all those lines to get the effect I want.
Rocks painted! I actually like them now ^___^
And this is where I'm ending it for today! See, it's a little gold dragon! Still a lot of work to do, because I need to do another layer of colour over that little dragon. . .but it's looking fairly good so far.
So, having fun?

But damn, that is good. After unicorns, dragons are next on my fantasy collections. ^_____^
What water paints are you using? (sorry for being nosy). I'm just curious if it's the basic or complex colour pallets. I find colours tend to turn out nicer when they're personally mixed. Again...just curious.
Can't wait to see the final result!!!
