He's really cool! Or is it a she? sweatdrop I don't draw dragons too often (because I'm so absolutely terrible at it) but yours is really rad (yes, I'm using old people jargon).

If you wanted critique (to take positively for future reference) then I believe the front legs could be a bit thicker and the tail a bit longer (so the head doesn't dominate the whole body).

But it's absolutely wonderful! Are you going to color it more on the computer, or do more. Expand on colors and such, 'cause you can do a lot with dragons on the computer since they're colored in scales and such and can be quite colorful. Just wondering. I'd love if you'd post more dragons. I haven't seen many around in the Gaian guilds, and a good dragon picture is always great to look at. mrgreen OH! Continue to draw, and have fun!

OmiGOSH~!
What a wonderful dragon~
I truely love the style
it's so much more whimsical and quirky than you usually see.
I'd love to see how this syyle looks applied to other creatures~
All I have to say is that if you continue to spruce it up and actually spend time on the coloring (and get rid of that lined background!) it'll be a remarkable finnished piece!

Glad you like it! I drew it on a sheet of notebook paper, because I was sending it by mail to a friend.

Of course I do, but the dragon was sort of spontanious.

I just felt like drawing when I was finished writting the letter on notebook paper.

Aaah, that makes sence xd
But there is an easy way of getting rid of those lines if you have a photoshop program. All you have to do is:


Quote:
1) Scan it in (which you've already done)

2) At the top there should be a selection called "Image", click it and then click the one that says "Adjustments". You should be presented with then more options. Scroll down to the one that says "Hue/Saturation", and click that. [If you don't understand, or if you just want to be quick, holding down Ctrl+u should suffice.]

3) You should then be presented with a box that says "Edit: Master" at the top, with the options of Hue, Saturation, and Lightness underneath. Click on the "Master", and select the first one underneath.

4) It should be "Reds". Now, click and drag the arrow under "Saturation" all the way to the left, and click and drag the arrow under "Lightness" all the way to the right. Repeat this step on all of the remaining color families, except for the "Master" [Don't touch the "Master!]

5) After hitting "OK", go back up to "Images" and "Adjustments" again, and scroll down until you find "Brightness/Contrast".

6) Fiddle around with the settings until you get your image to where you want it. [Usually, I have to edge both the brightness and contrast slightly to the right.]

7) If there are still some shadow-lines showing, go back in with an esarer to clear those up.

8.) Now you should have a line-free work~!


I hope this helps~
