Description This is a dragon I did quite a while back as you can see on the dates. Earlier date is the date I inked it, later date is the date I finished coloring it. I don't know why it hasn't been put up earlier... This one was actually done as a gift for a girl at my high school. Even though other people were being jerks to me most of the time, she gave me the respect any morally decent person would. It meant a lot to me, and I wanted to tell her that I really appreciated her positive attitude, so I drew this for her.

It's been so long, I know it was 99% without eraser (just not coloring in the lighter area to begin with) but I may have used one to fix it if I made the lightest area too dark.

WindieDragon In reply to Deamond-89 [2008-01-01 15:18:22 +0000 UTC]

Thanks. yeah it's hard for omeone like me cuz I'm used to photoshop where you can do all your coloring and shading and slap all the highlights on at the end. but with colored pencils you constantly have to think about the highlights from the beginning.

Wonderful use of color. Very vibrant. Jumps off the page. The color is the best part of this picture. Not to say the rest is shabby, it's just the strongest element I see.
Dragon is very well drawn. Cartoony, but what's wrong with that? Hell, some of my stuff is cartoony, too! The style is very similar to my own cartoon style and so I definitely dig that!
Kind of plain negative space. Would love to see this guy in the clouds or something, not just floating in space. Other than that, great work.

WindieDragon In reply to Klaber [2007-12-09 05:56:06 +0000 UTC]

Thanks, I was actually still practicing just the rainbow color on this piece, which is why this dragon doesn't look as good as some of my other ones, but I do like the idea of making one in the clouds. I'm actually more of a Photoshop person so rainbow coloring in colored pencils on a detailed realistic dragon kinda intimidates me... especially because with colored pencils you have to be aware of the highlighted areas from the beginning rather than slap them on at the end like I'm used to.

This caught my attention as I was browsing through my deviations... Unable to comment on all, as I had around 600.. Anyway, this is beautiful.

I am a sucker for colours so I instantly loved all over it.

And yes, I know how it is. Letting the people who are decent towards ya know is great!

I dunno, it's in my gallery stats if you wanna look, I'm sure I have it enabled. Well at least you have a SUB to look through all of 'em with. me, I have to click every single link if I want to see them all, which I usually do. :[

top quality art colored pencils, expensive as crap! (plus the colors have weird names, like tuscan red and terra cotta... I like the simplicity of roseart color names)

Thanks The focus for this pic was soley to practice coloring. I only did 2 other rainbow dragons before this one. they are in my gallery and if you look you can see the progress I made in just those 3 drawings alone. the first one was a spur-of-the-moment idea that merely gave me the base, the second one I actually thought about the way I wanted the colors to be arranged, and the third one was practice rendering those colors with highlights on the skin and wings cuz I forgot about the wings in the second one.
