Haha, well I am sick of trying to locate a post I did in the finished gallery so I am going to post a (hopefully) working link here. So here goes.

My Dragon

Gee.. I hate to see ppl ermm ... nvm.

Overall i think u got the characteristics of a dragon somewhat correct. But... the image looks very "Flat". You havent Fleshed it out.. its not dynamic even though its spreading its wings. I dont feel as if it is alive. There isnt a sense of depth. I dont see any shadows. And oh.. the left feet is angled in an awkward way.

I think u might want to start with something less ambitious so u can get a proper referrence to practice what i just said. try doing a simple rendering of say, a .. dog. If u can make it seem alive on paper.. then u're gettinig somewhere. If my crit seems harsh, dont be disheartened. Everyone starts somewhere. Even the greats. So keep practising. But u need to understand the basics.

I think all aspiring artist should read this book called :
The New Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain
by Betty Edwards
Here is the Link to it on Amazon.

Thanks. Thats the first useful c & c from anyone. Hmm.... Well I am kinda stunned! I didn't know my inexperience was so obvious! Haha but thanks for the comments dude!

Done with a mouse and ink outline.

I really see what you mean with the shadows but when you say flesh it out do you mean to make it... it uhh more solid I spose. To make its pressence more solid with the shadows. Can you try and be more specific with that fleshing it out!

Thanks in advance!
