Thank you very much. I worked on it over my summer break a few years ago, off and on, so I'm not really sure how long it took. xD

add some grey shadow to the white and it would be perfect

Yeah, I see how it could use a bit more shading. Thank you for the favorite.

no sketch??? awesome!

NoelleMBrooks In reply to rubbybelle [2009-01-06 12:35:29 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I tried to draw a sketch first, but I couldn't see the pencil on the black paper, so I just had to wing it...You can't tell by looking at it, but it came out way different than I had imagined. It still looks all right, but it probably would have been better if I would have used a sketch or something.

Thank you. It did take quite a while and many times I did not want to work on it...but I did, and I finished it, and I am proud of myself.

Thank you very much. I guess it could if it had a background...

You're welcome. A background would have looked nice, but it's already clear that the center piece here was well executed

NoelleMBrooks In reply to Swirledsky [2008-08-27 20:55:33 +0000 UTC]

Thank you! I worked really hard to make it look as realistic as possible, which is why I chose to use a reference in the first place, and when I put the time and effort into a piece, I can make it turn out pretty nice. Thank you for the favorite!

It is referenced off of an actual photo which helps when drawing or coloring realistically. Thanks for the comment and the favorite!

kxeron In reply to NoelleMBrooks [2008-08-27 12:15:45 +0000 UTC]

you're welcome,i never use any references even if i try to paint something realistic. this takes more challenge...but really i'm not against those ho use references, but it would be interesting to see how they would change angle (would be much more original )

NoelleMBrooks In reply to kxeron [2008-08-27 20:52:44 +0000 UTC]

I don't normally use a reference, especially since I usually draw original characters, fantasy things, or make up something, which don't exist in the first place...When I do use a reference, it doesn't quite look like it anyways. This parrot is off from the reference, but oh well. I like it alone.

With your dragons and dinosaur-like creatures, I could see why you wouldn't use a reference.

kxeron In reply to NoelleMBrooks [2008-08-27 23:24:42 +0000 UTC]

for drawing fantasy things there is no place for references .and about parrot i like it too that's why i it.
