Description The original size of the dragon is 9X12. This piece was done with Ink and Pencil using a stippling and linework technique. After looking at the dragon's tail I realized that elements of nature seem to keep finding its way into most of my drawings.

David, thank you so much! I get extremely fine lines by using a .005 fine line ink pen and the shading is done with graphite pencils. Thanks for the compliment and I am going to take a look at your gallery now.

J-Rard [2007-09-04 16:49:52 +0000 UTC]

I really like your take on a dragon. It's unusual to find a dragon that seems friendly and almost dog-like with feathers and fur. On a site like this where everyone seems to be doing the same kind of work that everyone else is doing, it's good to see an interesting take. It's almost like a gryphon, so it has some historical validity to it as well.

Keep up the cool stuff. It's cool to see someone as young as yourself doing some really interesting stuff.

This is beautiful, and the tail with the leaf looks so lovely. Actually, the whole picture looks really textured, like the leaf and the spines/hair(?) on his back.
It's just amazing, and you're so good at art for your age. Well, for any age this would be brilliant.
, because I love it.

That's ok, it's definitely deserved! I'm glad my comments are 'encouraging' too! You can't help smiling at your work anyway - there is a kind of charm there. It's very natural, and quite serene looking. I love your style.

You're very welcome!! I'm so glad!

I'd never heard of Nightwish, so I had to look them up! I like the music and the female vocals are very different!! Nice mix of classical and metal from what little I heard!

Joan, I want to thank you for sending me the link. What an extraordinary man, who created the most beautiful architecture I have truly ever seen. I couldn't even begin to pick a favorite of his .... too many. His work was so greatly influenced by nature, such organic forms...truly an inspiration.

Elements of nature seeping into your art ... It's tail looks like a branch of a hemlock tree ... Which reminds me that I need to give my hemlock bonsai a pruning.

A wonderful combination of several mythos Dragons to become one that's uniquely yours Erin.

As always ... amazing work.

Thanks John....I keep seeing a tree also. It's one of those things where once you step back, tilt your head to the side and smile while thinking to yourself "where did that come from?" By then its to late....he has a tree on his tail.

THE ONLY THING WHEN I LOK AT UR DRWING . U NEED TO LEARN ANATOMY I CAN SEE THOSE ARMS AND SUCH LIKE FACE TOO IT CAN BE BETTER SOME ARE OUT OF LINE. LIKE I TOLD U STUDY ANATOMY IT CAN GREATLY ENHANCE ANIMAL AND HUMAN INVOLVED DRAWINGS. DONT JUST FOCUS ON DETAILS AND SHADING. DRAWING COMES FIRST AND DRAWING RIGHT KIND OF ANATOMY IS IMPORTANT IF U WANT TO BE PROFESSIONAL OR BEST AS YOU CAN BE.
