This will eventually be an armoured dragon surveying his territory.

:) I haven't drawn a dragon in ages - I seem tobe going through this 'can I still do that?' stage at the moment. This will eventually be coloured, so this is just the inks at the moment (hence the lack of any real shading / rendering). I'm not sure what colour - either a nice metallic grey (if I can figure out how to colour metal properly... :roll: ), a blue or the traditional red. I've even made considerations for the background (go me!). Now let's see how badly I can screw this one up...

He heee! He's got stubby legs! Maybe I should re name him 'Stubby Dragon...' :lmao:

I had to scan it in two halves and stick it together, hence 'aaarrgggh! Bright lights!' quality to it - I adjusted the curves slightly to hide the join line.

About 4 hours - whilst I was watching the Pink Panther last night and Conan the Barbarian this morning :aww:

Inks over pencil sketch.

Please full view. I can't get the hang of making decent tiny views anymore... :worry:

Don't argue with an idiot, he will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.

:clap: This still looks really good. I like the "stubby" legs, it looks as though he is in the learning process. It's all very clean, I love it!
:iconmistresselysia:
:hug: Thank you! I did try to lengthen his legs, but they looked weird too... maybe he is a young dragon (or something... ) :aww:

Great inking, great inking, great inkinig! :bounce:
Sorry, I got carried away :-)
I love the design of this dragon (looks like a metallic dragon too me, but I know that painting metal can be difficult)
One question: are his wings incomlete or you just didn't scan the whole picture? Because seeing the whole wings would really add a lot to the composition.

The paper I used (A3) was too small and I'm not that confident in enlarging canvases digitally yet... although I may give it a go when it comes to colouring him, I don't know! His wings are a bit of a 'ppphhhrrrr' area for me - I'm normally better at this at drawing wings, so they may get a complete new re-design, I'm not sure ;-) .

:hug: thanks! My eyes are no ridiculously sore, though... :lmao:
