Taking the time to draw individual scales, you either have no life, a lot of time on your hands, or really enjoy your work! LMAO, GREAT picture of a dragon, I assume it's a dragon guardian...Well, what ever it may be, it looks very nice! KEEP IT UP!!

:-) Carl Gookins replies: ""..a lot of time on your hands, or really enjoy your work.."....hmmm well...yep...thats it...alittle of both!..lol . Honestly those scale were a pain in the...well...yeah. Thanks for checkin him out though. I just thought he looked like a guardian to me...haha but it never accured to me to think of "What" he is a guardian for though...lol...thanks again. 2"

I think that the detail in the scales ads so much more to the piece. I LOVE IT!

:-) Carl Gookins replies: "Thanks...yeah..Its true...but no one could have convenced me that while I was drawing scale after scale...lol lol...im lucky I finished at all....lol...Thanks."

very impressive. I love the pose and the way he holds his head. YOu are very good with details (and pens, I'm scared of working in pens.... Pencil first, THEN think about permanent mediums...)

Well now, we have much in common drawing wise. Only my free time is spent ignoring my teachers and drawing instead. I have a similar sketch where the scales alone took 5 hours to draw in. People with the patience we possess should be using, as you are. Get this stuff coming man.

:-) Carl Gookins replies: "Hey man thanks! 2 I remember in school I would do the same...(thats when I actualy showed up for school) ...eeek ...thanks again 2"
