I think I need a new brain, 'cause I've finally lost enough of it to make an art thread. I just wanna show some of the dragons for now I guess. I may get even more deranged courage to put other stuff later. but uh, might as well start with my best and most recent completed piece, eh?  I made it a little smaller for the thread. It's really not much bigger though. about 2 inches hieght wise. |

Thanks. I use photoshop. But I use a terrible, terrible, cheap version. Photoshop elements 2. Got it for 50 bucks at most.

yes, let us see more! I love the stars in the dragon's wings, wonderful atmosphere in this picture too!( I know photoshop elments is a pain to color with too since I had to use it but once at a friend's house) I'm always impressed with what people can do with programs that aren't as easy to use (like I say, I'm photoshop spoiled ^_^)

*blushes* oh ah thank you! Thank you all so much^^ The rest aren't as nice, but I have quite a few photoshop colored dragons (I'll show them, despite my cringing at certain aspects of them). I'll probably put them in an order so you can see the growth... They get better fairly quickly (at an average of 8 hours a piece, you can guess why). I have some hand done stuff I'll be putting in shortly enough as well. I'm a little bit proud of a few pastels and stuff of mine. I'm short on time right now (Curse Chemistry and it's tests!) so they aren't going up yet, but tomorrow I'll have several hours worth of free time, so they'll be going up sometime tomorrow.

Thank you so very much. It means a lot. Oh and by the way, I appreciate suggestions. They'll never offend me. I usually even put them into action the next piece I do (as I did with the first dragon I posted. someone gave me a helpful tip on one of my dragons on deviantart)

heehee Thank you. I'll be sure to post anymore dragons I do here. I have one more dragon. But this one's a sculpture of which I have no photos currently, and it is several hundred miles away. But I'll take a picture of it and post it when I go to Maimi for Winter Break.

Thank you! Fire is amazingly difficult to get looking realistic. Erm, I have something else, it's not a dragon, and not any finished piece, but I like it. I did it in Illustrator CS long before I knew about gradient meshes, so this is all done with layerings of gradients and flat colors. Took me forever, but I was enjoying doing it, and avoiding doing actual work (I was supposed to be working on a small book.) Sorry it's not a complete piece or anything. I was thinking of doing a piece around it...  |

Thank you ^.^ That one is one of my favorites as well. Did it to the specifications of a friend the Dragon was of. (I went through a "dragonfy my friends" phase recently) I dubbed it "the candy cane dragon" ...

The art's amazing, Ly. I wish I could color.

Ok, I figured it was time to put some art up. These are all 18 inches by 24 inches in real life. This one is in charcoal and chalk pastels.  oil bars.  charcoal on manilla paper (my school was cheap.)  oil bars on manilla paper. Yes, this is the right side up.  charcoal and watered down gesso (that's why some are faint. It was a "layering" thing)  |

Man, I should've looked here earlier. The dragons are delicious! I like the candy-cane one ^_^
Just keep working on them are skills, 'cause you've got a heck of a lot of talent there.

*blushes* Thank you! I've had plenty of practice with drawing... I think that's most of the reason any of this looks half decent. The boxes one took me a while, as my teacher gave the class vine charcoal, some soft erasers, and a toothpick and told us that's all we could draw with. She said the toothpick we would use to determine proportions. I can't draw straight lines, so that took a long while to get to anything decent.

Post by silverwolf on Dec 21, 2005 18:16:07 GMT -5
Bleh. Vine charcoal. The only thing I've ever drawn that looks like it may compare with any of this is a drawing of a boot that I worked on for three weeks. I'll put up a piccy as soon as my teacher gives it back.

Post by lysinias on Dec 21, 2005 19:29:11 GMT -5
I'd love to see that boot. And I've been drawing since ... uhm... before middle school. Though that's when I first started taking it really seriously. That makes that 7 years of drawing... it's all just practice. I'm sure you'll be better than me in no time. A load of people at school were... Anyway, here's some more art! The scultpure I mentioned. Done in 8th grade:   And now, some more drawings... charcoal, a little bigger than 18 by 24 inches. I'm not sure by how much...  pastels, 18 x 24 inches  Pastels, 18 x 24 inches  pastels 18 x 24 inches  Pencil. much bigger than 18 x 24. I'll look up exact lengths later, I have them written on the slides of these somewhere in my portfolio... but this is my bedroom. Shortly before I did some changes. You can see that old boombox on the shelf there... and because this has come up in the past, the poster on the wall next to the window is of a dragon breathing fire into the bottom. Not a lady of some sort. This took 6 hours. I did this for 6 hours straight and did not even notice the time...  |

(this last one took me the shortest. I woke up on the morning of my friends birthday and went I need to draw her something. So it took me 3 hours, maximum. That's about 5 hours less than the average)
