SF&F Picture 20 out of 34 by Lanine K. May.

This sleeping beauty decided that she was going to be drawn the other night.. OR ELSE!! She sort of had a ... grey hound body, in the shape of the front legs, and the very large chest, small stomach. I was trying to make her cat like.. but the dog just wanted to be let in, instead. :) Oh well. I used normal colored pencils, metallic colored pencils, water, and gel pens.

16 Apr 2000	Jessica Smith	Loading... I don't like how skinny that this "beauty" is. However the coloring isn't bad. The way it is drawn looks as if a young child was the artist (fourth grade). Try to use shading and more detail, it will have a more dramatic affect. I'm sorry Jessica.. but I'd most deffinitly like YOU to draw something of this skill, and color. She may not be of professional skill.. or as large and gigantuan as MOST dragons. However she is orginal.. and drawn the way I view her. Not you, not george, and Pat. Thank you for you comments nonetheless. }\|

28 Apr 2002	Amanda 'Goldenrod' Meldrum	Loading... Um... Jessica Smith, yeah, hi, You're a - well, I can't say what you are in English... Lay off! I like skinny dragons, they look more elegant and wispy... Very pretty.
15 Jun 2004	Matthew Frantz	Loading... Beautiful. I've seen much more technically perfect pieces with a lot less artistic value. Not very many have this kind of elegance. There are a lot more things going on than just a picture here. There is balance, shading, symetry, flow... Lots of things to be taken into account before being dismissed as juvenile. One should be able and willing to look at the deeper picture, otherwise, you will never see art. This, I feel, is art.
