It is a shame I couldn't come up with a better name for this pic. But, creating things and naming them are two different things.

I like this picture a lot. I can't say enough how proud I am after finally finishing it. Originally, it was suppose to look different, but after placing the dragon and cliff on the paper, I realized I took up to much space and decided to just go along with it rather than attempt to redraw the dragon.

This is my Fourth full scale colored pencil drawing that I have done and it is amazing what one can learn by doing just one pic. On my last one, Just Me and My Dragon, I received some criticism on how I went about presenting the clouds. This go around, I spent much more time studying clouds and their structure (well, what little structure they actually have ) and took more time on the clouds and my color choices for them. A new tool I have also put to good use is a blending stump. Though I don't have easy access to a blending pencil, I will say the blending stump is much more efficient than my finger or a napkin.

Overall, this took about three weeks, mostly because I had tests and other conflicts that interfered with my work time. In hours, I'd say this took about nine or ten. I worked real slowly to make sure I knew what I was doing and that I was doing precisely what I wanted to do. Another issue I faces was my ADD. I haven't actually been diagnosed with attention deficit disorder, but I found it incredibly hard to focus on my work for more than an hour at a time and usually got up and did something else the rest of the day.

I plan on entering this in a school wide art show where ribbons are given for exceptional work in each category. Wish me luck and please comment if you have any constructive criticism! Let me know how I can improve!!!

P.S.

Please excuse my horrible picture taking skills! I did this in my sketch book and was unable to get an adequate scan of it. I tired my best to come up with an image that included the whole picture with as little else as possible and this is what resulted.
