I love his face! I'm not sure abput the wings though, when I first looked at them I thought they were one.. Maybe you should shade the further one a bit more so it wouldn't look like it was closer to the foreground than it should be

Oh wow, the markings on this are simply beautiful <33 It really makes me want to design a character with a lot more color variation to them. I especially love how you painted the neck region. The fade of the diamonds is gorgeous.

Wow! This is excellent! I love the colors as well as the shininess that you applied to her skin. I want to get back into gouache just haven't have the time to play with it. You have a great way with gouache! Nice work!

Gorgeous work, you should consider making a tutorial. I'm interested in how you use gouche and inks to make your unique work! I love this dragon, his skin is so smooth like a frog's! Keep it up!

I am pretty bad about tutorials since when I work, I generally have to work straight through with few breaks otherwise I lose concentration D:

I tried so hard to give it a bit more volume than the previous ones I've done, it seems to have paid off a little more this time. :3

thaily [2008-11-14 09:28:28 +0000 UTC]

Love the patterning as well, and the little highlights. Do you just marker around those or do you use masking fluid to cover it up or something?

๐Ÿ‘: 0 โฉ: 1

Ahkahna In reply to thaily [2008-11-14 15:56:49 +0000 UTC]

In this instance I didn't use marker, it's all gouache paint and a little bit of white ink highlighting. Since I painted it on cardstock I couldn't use masking fluid (and I usually don't anyway) since it'd tear up and ruin the paper.
