 dragongirl508 [Profile] 2010/8/15 - 10:50:42 this drawing came out pretty well. i tried to dodge to lighten the tips, but it didn't work :/ still... im getting better lizziecat1279 [Profile] 2010/8/15 - 13:36:7 this looks a bit like the asiatic dragon from jessica "neondragon" peffer's first drawing book. it is pretty good, although you might want to look at how to draw fur. the tail plume looks like a plant. i'm not trying to soun mean, just help you get better ^^ the neck is the smallest bit too long, but with asian dragons, it doesn't matter too much. the hands/feet are a bit awkward, but that can be fixed with a bit of studying (learning how to draw is pretty fun, if you like to learn ^^). i see a white outline around the dragon. was that an attempted glow effect? if so, you can accomplish it better if you use the airbrush tool and frame the dragon. the face is really good, probably the best part of the dragon. the dodge/burn tool really isn't a good tool to use, seeing as how i've only seen a few people use it well, but it's a good thing that you didn't rely on it too heavily. try taking the base color and darkening it with the color customizer. it'll look a lot better.
all in all, it's okay, but could improve. sorry if you didn't want any crits, i just felt like helping out. i'm in a bit of a critique-ey mood i guess ^^
*glances at the paragraph i wrote* wow have a great day! dragongirl508 [Profile] 2010/8/15 - 14:17:15 oh yea i did forget to say c&c :)
anyways, i know the paws are awkward because i havn't really gotten used to this yet. and, yea this is a pose of neon's eastern. it was also awkward doing the fur, too.... because i have a laptop with a touchpad. i am used to the pad, but it offers a little less control over curves than a mouse. i tried to get close to the dragon's edges, but it kept going over it. i have just figured out kow to do the layers, so i don't need to worry about that anymore. i used the fill around, and i don't know why i left that white around the edges. i used pen to outline. i can do everything so much better on paper right now :)
and, i usually don't do fur on my dragons, so i am not quite so used to it yet. i have my other here, it's a reproduction of my own drawing called Beautiful Storm. i have so many on-paper drawings. can i upload and post them here? lizziecat1279 [Profile] 2010/8/15 - 14:46:41 if you have a scanner, then you can scan pictures to deviantart, photobucket, or others. most people on here have deviantart accounts. to show off pics here, just put up a doodle, then copy and paste the URL of the page you want to link to. make sure you post the doodle in the right board, cause that's something that i've noticed ticking people off.
sorry if i don't make much sense, but ya........ :) dragongirl508 [Profile] 2010/8/15 - 14:52:27 i do have photobucket, and have some pics already scanned. just wanted to know how ty ): lizziecat1279 [Profile] 2010/8/15 - 15:16:17 you're welcome! ^^ oh and you'll get the hang of curves with the laptop touchpad (it's what i use). it just takes practice practice and did i mention practice? haha can't wait to see more of your work! dragongirl508 [Profile] 2010/8/15 - 15:57:31 actually i just got some of my paper drawings on here. the links are odd... huh. and made another drawing that gave me some probs.
