Thank you so much for giving me a critique!
Yeah, the lighting looks really a little bit weird and I always wondered why.. probably I should do some more lightstudies.

Also you're quite right about the background.

Thanks again for your awesome critique!

Sounds like a plan! I ought to take my own advice and do the same thingβ€” lighting is not easy and my skills are definitely not where I want them to be.

You're welcome.

Hehe, actually, I plan all kind of stuff for a long time (like start to learn more about human anatomy), but I find myself push it around all the time.. Well, I think I got a little bit better in using a good lighting, I already started to use also colored lightsources (not just a boring white one).. Still, I know I need more training for it..

I really had quite a while to draw all the details- especially since the picture is that big

I like it, i see there's an army of people bellow? ^^
Don't see that color very often in dragons, usually you see all red dragons etc, I like how you mixed black and red, both colors compliment each other.

Uhmm.. No, actually that should be trees I'm not that good in drawing trees, unfortunately Hehe, but an army of people would also fit, somehow
Yeah.. but it isn't my own design, it was made by *BlackScaled - I made that picture for her in exchange of an picture from her Somehow I like the mix of black and blue better than of red and black, that's why I choose mostover blue for my own designs

Lol, I see, It was hard to tell, I couldn't make out any tree trunks, so my imagination came up with people all standing and watching the dragon. You could say it's an army of trees then!

Ah I see
Blue must be one of your favorite colors! ^^

OrmIrian In reply to Lee99 [2009-11-05 16:05:51 +0000 UTC]

Well, there are also some tree trunks, but they are also green (I should have made them brown )
Uhh, that's scary- imagine the trees would watch you! o.O

Yeah, blue is my one favorite color indeed!

Ja, diesesmal habe ich mir wieder einmal ein wenig mehr MΓΌhe gegeben mit dem Hintergrund- ich bin froh, dass das einigermassen zum Drachen und zur Stimmung passt

Hee, wow, this looks really nice! I especially love what you did with that background. Great job.

On the dragon, the scales look really good. I'm not quite sure what you did, but it looks like a really great way to do scales. Nice work on the wing membranes as well.

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

OrmIrian In reply to Zeimyth [2009-11-02 15:21:48 +0000 UTC]

Thaanks! Hehe, I tried to do the background differently than usual- I'm really glad you like it!

Well, I draw every single scale one by one, as usual- only difference: This time, the scales are all rounded
Hmm, somehow I'm not that happy with my wing membranes, but I think it could be worse
Well, thank you again!

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

Zeimyth In reply to OrmIrian [2009-11-02 15:35:39 +0000 UTC]

Round scales take less time to draw, probably. But I usually don't think they look as good. These ones do, though.

Well, I always seem to think other people do a good job on wing membranes. The wings are the most important part of a dragon, after all!

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

OrmIrian In reply to Zeimyth [2009-11-02 15:51:37 +0000 UTC]

Hmm.. Yeah, they might be finished a little bit faster, but they tend to look really fast 'sketchy' I also had some problems to give the impression of a black dragon, because if you highlight the single scales, the dragon suddenly look like it's grey instead of black

Hehe, strangly enough, I don't really like to draw wings- they're always awfully difficult to draw, especially if the dragon flies or moves- or if it's a special perspective But I agree: It's a really important part!

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

Zeimyth In reply to OrmIrian [2009-11-02 22:43:14 +0000 UTC]

Sketchy, yes... There's a few spots on this dragon that have a fast sketchy feel. I guess that can't be avoided, sometimes... XD

I didn't think about the color issue. I've never tried to draw a black dragon before. XD I don't think I would do a very good job... If it helps, I knew this was a black dragon right away.

I like to draw wings... But, yes, they can be annoying to draw. Any interesting poses always have crazy wings... XD

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

OrmIrian In reply to Zeimyth [2009-11-03 16:44:58 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I know- but it would look much more sketchy, when I wouldn't have improve the worst parts

Hehe, it's tricky to draw a black dragon- as tricky as a white dragon
I'm glad that the dragon actually looks black

Yeah..

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

Zeimyth In reply to OrmIrian [2009-11-03 17:47:37 +0000 UTC]

In that case, I'm glad you went back to improve those parts. The picture really doesn't have much of a sketchy feel at all, as it is now.

I've never tried a white dragon either. Too scared. White and silver dragons look amazing when done really well!

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

OrmIrian In reply to Zeimyth [2009-11-03 18:15:11 +0000 UTC]

Well, then I'm glad

Hehe, a white dragon is even a little bit more difficult than a black one (at least for me), but I agree: If it's well done, it looks always so awesome..

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

Zeimyth In reply to OrmIrian [2009-11-04 05:39:41 +0000 UTC]

I really want to try white sometime. Or silver. But silver's even harder to do... XD

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

OrmIrian In reply to Zeimyth [2009-11-04 12:08:57 +0000 UTC]

But silver looks also much cooler in the end than white (if it's done properly of course). Hmm, I should also try to draw a silver dragon once

Zeimyth In reply to OrmIrian [2009-11-04 14:39:13 +0000 UTC]

I wish I knew how to draw silver dragons. I have no idea what the trick is. XD All I can do is try a bunch of different colors and hope it ends up looking silver! >.<

OrmIrian In reply to Zeimyth [2009-11-04 16:04:09 +0000 UTC]

Well, I don't know that either- except using more gray-tones than blue or other colors- and it have to be metallic Hehe, that's what I do too

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

Zeimyth In reply to OrmIrian [2009-11-04 21:22:34 +0000 UTC]

Hmm. Well, maybe I'll start to figure it out as I try to do silvers. I'm not very good with color still. XD

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

OrmIrian In reply to Zeimyth [2009-11-05 16:08:55 +0000 UTC]

Well, the best way to get better with colors is trying out some new things!

Zeimyth In reply to OrmIrian [2009-11-05 17:37:33 +0000 UTC]

Very true... XD Though it also helps to look at art from other people and see how they did their colors.
