Cool dragon! I like how the water is flying off as it's flying. There's a lot of good colors here, but I would suggest some more contrast between them to make the dragon stand out more. I really like how you blended the sky and the ring of light around the sun. Also, the way the sun is white was good because the sun isn't really all yellow even though people draw it that way sometimes.

Thanks, alright so work on the shading maybe? To make the dragon stand out?
And yah agreed. Every picture I look at the sun is more white than yellow. Maybe if it's a sunset but only when they're at the tip of the horizon are they red.

I really like how this turned out. The dragon looks superb; a very nice and smooth coloring scene, some interesting markings/pattern on it, lovely design of the dragon in general, and I just find the pose amusing (especially it snatching a fish). The back ground scenery is also beautiful. Found the choice of the water color unique and makes both the dragon and the sky stand out much more. The only nitpick I have with it is that the icebergs feel a little random and don't blend up the scenery as well as the ocean and sky. Maybe having more snowy plains in the background, say something like the Arctic, would have helped warranted their placement. Other than that, this is a beautiful artwork you made. Keep up the fantastic work!

The tail and the water dropps are perfectly done
I love the color of the water too, but I'd suggest you to make a bigger contrast
between dark and light.
I like, the picture, and it would be even better, if you could add some details to the water, its too calm for me
Anyway, I really like it

The tail is wonderfully done, very lifelike ^^
The sun is very well executed, it blends nicely with the sky ^^

Amazing seawing! Also, for the water, maybe make the end of the water (in the background) a bit less flat and with more of a ripple?

I reall like the colors that you used here it really nice 
and the water drops you did amazing on I can totally see where the dragon was going 
the sky color is awesome and I love it 

the water is great but it dose need some textures and some shine to it 
but you got refixson of the sun right!

The colors of the water and the ocean is so beautiful. Nice choices.
However, it looks kind of static. No movement. Maybe you should add some slight wavy movements to give the ocean more personality, you know what I mean? even if most animes, if the ocean is shown, there are some ripples to indicate fluidity. Scatter some ripples from one side to the other and it should look a lot better ^^

Nice choice of color, the reflecting light from the sun gives it this calm dawn feeling to it. While I really enjoy the colors of the ocean, they don't seem to be the same as the colors in the sky. Water is blue because it reflects the sky. I also would have done a bit more of a deeper darker color on the edges of the sky. I think you did a good job of coloring the dragon so he isn't lost against all the blue of the background. I think it works because his coloring is lighter than the sky. I would try to do some more line variation in the line art.

Lens-Druid [2016-04-24 01:57:38 +0000 UTC]

I like the picture over all, The water could, use a bit more texture but not too much, with the Dragon that close to the water too much detail would take away from it. but a bit more would help it stand out more from the background. Still very well done. its an iteresting take on dragon kind. What were your inspirations? I will say that Water is one of the hardest details to perfect in art. whether its Drawing paint or photography water is always a hassle. so good job doing as well as you did.
