SciFi and Fantasy Art: Dragon Letters Z

This is one of the letters of my Dragon Alphabet. Since its intended for a coloring book, its black and white. Pen & Ink (altered a bit in photo shop).

My favorite part of this drawing is his one fang sticking up, and the ends of his wings.

Thought I'd try blue & green for this one.  Since I have 26 dragons in the series there is just about every color combination that I could come up with, so if you don't like this one don't worry, there are still 25 others to choose from.

He's just adorable! Reminds me of that dragon from the Disney movie "Pete's Dragon"...I think I'm going to color him in a "stained-glass" style and I'll send you a note when he's up in my gallery. I really love these guys!

:-) Brian L. Husted replies: "That will be fun to see. I'll make sure to put up a link here so that other people can enjoy it too."

Z is cute. I think he has the most character of all of them!

:-) Brian L. Husted replies: "Z is one of my very favorites. I love that little fang of his."

You did have waaaaaaay too much fun making those letters....But at least they're good drawings^^ the look best when colored tho, i think. *shrugs* but that's just me. =)

:-) Brian L. Husted replies: "I don’t mind at all that you think the letters look best when they are colored in. That means I’m doing something right since they are intended to be used for a coloring book! Eventually I’ll be replacing each of the black and white ones with color versions."

OMG that's great! His face is just too...too...hmmm...well it's simply great!^^

:-) Brian L. Husted replies: "It’s the fang, there is just something irresistible about a dragon with just one fang. Glad you like him."

He is really cute. The twist of his tail is great. He looks really happy. What made you think of the idea of letter dragons?

:-) Brian L. Husted replies: "It all started with my ice dragon drawing (which is in my gallery). Several years ago I was showing some of my work to a friend of mine when her young son pointed out that my ice dragon looks like the letter "A". Later on that day I started sketching and figured out how to have dragons shaped like other letters. Gradually the designs evolved and I came up with sketches of all 26 letters. Now I have all but 5 done and those ones should be done within the next month or so. (I'll be putting them up in my Elfwood gallery as I get them colored)"

Yep, there's definitely something appealing about the fang - it makes him look sweet and dopey.

The twist in the tail is great too. Adding twists like that in all your dragon letters works so much better than just making the dragon the simple shape of the letter.

Okay - that's phrased really badly but I'm sure you know what I mean!

:-) Brian L. Husted replies: "I always love adding the little touches like having the tails swoop around and curve. They are fun to draw and it makes it more of a challenge to try and come up with something that is a more complex shape."

I really love how you can do dragons!!!
I really like your gallery!
Good Work!!!

:-) Brian L. Husted replies: "Thanks, I'm putting the finishing touches on the dragon letters series now. This one is going to turn blue and green. I'll be uploading them in the next few months."

Now *that* is a bendy dragon. O_O

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Dragon Yoga! Z is for Zen!

I love how you get all the dragon bits to go so bend-y and yet it still looks proportionate. It's like a celtic knot made out of play-doh!

Z is for Zowee!
