As my name suggest I just doodle, so this is more from one artist to another!

I love this beautiful masterpiece, there is so much to talk about the level of detailing that's in this artwork!

The dragon himself is perfect and not just from the looks but how his wing are position and the width of his tail to the point. He could actually take off in flight if we were going by a bird/bat level of flying. I'm not sure if that was on propose or not but still, I love looking for those kinds of things!

The detail in the wings themselves is incredible! The little veins scattered around look so natural that it brings more life into the dragon. Speaking of life of the dragon, the expression is perfect! It's a challenge to get the right expression to show what the dragon is like and give an insight into his personality.

Now I can keep going on with everything I love about this wonderful art but it wouldn't be helpful if I didn't show some things that I can see need just a tiny bit of work on. I'm not trying to be mean but its good to have something to fall back on just to put you that much farther. Remember I'm no pro artist I just love art and giving you my feedback.

With this level of detail, I kept getting distracted (very little) by the blanket and pillows. They don't look as clean as the flowers and the candles do or even the mug. They are well suggested that I know what they are but it's hard to see how the blanket is folding or the pillows are being squished down by the body and tail. For a moment I thought the mat he was laying on was the blanket until I took a closer look and zoomed in to see the hint of the outline. I know how hard folds and clothes are and figuring them out. My suggestion for at least the pillows to get those folds is having someone lay down on a stack of pillows or what I do is I lay down some books and wrap them up in a towel or something to give that weight and so I can see what the folds are doing. That's what I do, by all means, you don't have to do any of that!

Really that's all I have to say, I mean I can keep going and picking out more details that I see every time I glance at this but the picture speaks for itself. It's beautiful and you really should be proud of your artwork! Your talent shows and I can already see you jumping ahead with your art and making more beautiful art. I hoped this helped you!

Ok so I'm not what you would necessarily what you would call a professional at art but I'm insanely in love with this piece! Both the character and background are incredibly detailed. I don't think there's a single part of this piece that isn't loaded with immense detail and attention. Shading and shadowing is absolutely amazing and very on point. I can imagine how much thought you put into this piece but just a thing only from my opinion is that blue blanket doesn't seem to match the same kind of coloring or the same feel as the rest of this masterpiece.

Hey thank you so much for your critique! I really appreciate the time you take to do that ;u;
As for the blue blanket, the intention is to get a contrasting color, which is really important especially when your entire theme is of a particular color (in this case, golds and yellows). Perhaps the blue could have been a little less intense, but in my opinion it gives a little relief from the constant color.
We can all learn a little something here XD Thanks again! <3

Well I knew about the contrast part and i agree it looks great with the colors and really does give some relief but I'm talking a bit more about the way is was colored it doesn't seem AS polushed as the rest of the piece! I mean you might have intended this but I just wanted to kinda point it out! And no need to thank me!

Ohh boy, how gorgeous is this? The colours are beautiful! I really love the autumnal forest background, and the way the light from that shones through the wing of the dragon. c:

Also the little subtle lighting coming from the little lights and candles are so pretty c:
