Download for full viewI love my new tablet ^^ It makes things so much easier and precise
I'm trying my best to separate myself as much as possible from Flash. I did this on entirely on Photoshop CS3. It was a bit hard getting used to it but I've learned a lot of the essential techniques ^^.
Please comment or critique, this is new to me and I really want to know how I did ^^

I like the position of the wings rested, it seems very natural.
You use photoshop well, the colors and shadows are well applied and the result was great.
If you put textures will be much more realistic, but also much harder to do.... =/
Good work!

Yeah. I know I need to develop my coloring skills and learning how to use textures could be a good start... Thanks a lot for the comment ^^

Its pose reminds me very much of [link] . Just pointing this out.

Hum really ? They're quite different... Even though the scene is comparable

Ok, sorry for that. 
ha ha well I guess I helped to find something you liked at least.

Nah, don't feel bad about it. It's only normal. But consider this, I'm sure that a lot of drawings on dA or anywhere else look alike, inspired or not
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, and even if it was inspired it would have been no big deal. I was just being stupid.

Great! I don't see anything wrong with it.
What tablet do you use?

Thanks
This one ^^ : [link] It was my first drawing using it too

No problem.
Nice! I have a Bamboo Tablet

Wacom makes great tablets in general ^^ Have fun with it then

I didn't get to try it out yet; right after Christmas I left for vacation and our laptop doesn't have a laptop, so I couldn't install it...
Does a tablet help in drawing? Is it fun? And is it easy?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, it's kind of special. Apparently, from what I've heard, either you love it or either you don't. The cool thing about tablets and digital drawing is that you can do great coloring and shading on your drawings. Of course, this requires practice and depending on the software, you might want to read tutorials
In my case, well I love drawing with my tablet ^^. After, calling it easy or not is delicate, all depends on the software you use (don't compare MS Paint with Photoshop for instance even if Paint can do some great things in good hands...)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, we'll see if I like it once I try it. I will retrace my drawing, because I think that drawing by hand is better at first, and also (even though I didn't try yet) drawing on a tablet from scratch will probably be hard for me.
Luckily I don't use MS Paint. XD
I use GIMP, not sure if that's good or not...
I always wanted to buy photoshop but it's too expensive. :\ So I can't buy it, and my parents don't want to either.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Retracing is a good start 
And yeah, Gimp is supposed to be pretty good software
(By the way, thanks a bunch for the watch 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
We'll see, maybe I'll get used to mine too.
Wait, you're not planning on using the discount or your tablet?
(You're welcome! Same to you, and also thanks a lot for the favorites.

Okay ^^
Ah no you got me wrong
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hum, I don't know. I don't really use the full program's potential anyway so why bother with the new features ?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I might as well buy CS3 since it's probably cheaper. I don't know, I haven't looked at the prices for a while...
Do you recommend to get the entire suite or just the actual Photoshop?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Just get photoshop, the entire suite is like horribly expensive and you will have a bunch of programs you won't even use
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Okay. I thought so...
Let me see what the price is...
Darn my internet is so slow...
$699 for one program?!!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
They're crazy I know :S Stick to GIMP of get Photoshop Elements if I were you
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I think I'll just stick to GIMP. It's pretty good, and I didn't have to pay for it.
I'll see how much Photoshop Elements costs... $79.99... Now that is much more affordable.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, Gimp is good software I'm sure (I personally never used it). And yeah, big price difference
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
We'll see, maybe I will buy Photoshop Elements... $79.99 is affordable... Or I might just stick to GIMP. 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
If I were you, I'd stick to GIMP for now
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, I guess that's the plan for now.

No problem ^^ You deserve it

He may seem calm but he could hurt you if you bug him x3

YUSS!
This. Is. Spartaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Wow I really like how you colored it^^And the dragon is cool!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It's much more smoother, that part's obvious. I like the shading as well
The only thing is the shading, I can't tell where the light source is coming from. Other than that, I like your dragon design! Does he/she have a name?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks ^^ Well, I tried to give a frontal light source. But messing with the wing's shading is tricky... Did that mess you up ?
Other than that yes, I'm very pleased by the smoothness ^^ It looks great
And yes, he has a name : Iroth, I will make a char sheet when I fell less lazy >_> (More like when I finish all my prize art x3)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Welcome
^^ you should make a character ref. Again, he's got a great design.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ok thanks for the advice ^^
I'm really glad you like his design
