Description
This is a sketch commission done and completed for . His request was for a benchmark sketch that would demonstrate my sketching to the best of my ability. We locked heads once or twice on things such as positioning and shading, but eventually this met his ever-so-high standards. "One does not simply do a commission for Sam", after all. One point to mention: the little guy in the corner was Sam's idea of a scale reference, just so you guys know how big he is... cus he's big... dont forget that... like I did the last time I drew him :ITime spent: aaaaaaages. Anyone wanting a similar commission should bear in mind I went over my usual 5-hour timing for this, something along the lines of 6 to 8 hours in total
tools used: Various mechanical pencils and eraser pens.
Music at the time: Well... I forget. A lot of dubstep, I'm sure of that.

Right off the bat, it impacted me through its size comparison. The comparison to the human and the flag pole/sign post is done really well!
However, the size comparison is not perfect. I realize that this was a commission, but I think that the size of the dragon's hands should've more closely related to the size of its feet.
It could've used more shadowing, due to the fact that it is so large. Something of a shadow effect onto the nearby human or behind him would've been perfect.
The arms of the wings look sweet, due to the fact that it gives the dragon a muscular etiquette.
The dragon's mood looks content, but that's all I can say about it. Next time, perhaps you could attempt to add a mood to the setting?
Lastly, the human is not particularly staring at a part of the dragon or the fact of its massive size. If you had the human looking upwards towards the highest peak of the dragon, then it would add a much more stunning atmosphere to the image.
Overall, not bad of a drawing! 4/5 stars!

Depth and shading are the two things that really drew me to this. That as well, the head looks a little out of place, relative to the rest of the body. Otherwise, it's a great picture.

Which would be splendid- if the commission was for a painting. This one was explicitly a sketch, had to be done on paper and away from my precious computer and everything. I was not happy, jimmies were rustled, I assure you.

Like the style and pose. Only nit- He could be more on the paper versus cropped.

Truuue, in that doing so would allow me to fit his big tail on the page fully, but then that might mean he has to be smaller on the page, and that means less detailing.
I agree with you though. Think it was because I started the picture in the middle of the page. Next time I'll pick a side of it, should mean I could fit more on the paper. Thanks for the heads up

On and off a few hours at each time, yeah. There was a huge surge at the beginning, then sessions afterward where I was making corrections
