Oh! Colour this time!

Yes, 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?

And this is why art just blows my mind. See, you just did all these different steps to get this incredible effect and I wouldn't have had a clue where to even begin. I like the dragon's coloring. Reminds me of some of the toads we have around the house, esp. with the streaks of reddish brown on him.

*grins* It took me forever to learn these steps so.....

But I'm glad you like it and are enjoying seeing it step by step ^___^ it's always nice when i can share my art with everyone!
