Finally found a way to keep the picture quality up without making the file too big (took 2 hours.. Yohoo!), Original size of the drawing is 14' inches by 10.5'inches. New technique... Hope ya like. All this was done with my new 0.5 technical pencil. Took forever, oh well =).

Oooh, the art duel picture thingy shows up with the random button (yup, I'm literate today 12 )

I love the interesting texture on the dragons' skin and background. The shading is good and there is a strong sense of action. As stated, the cloud looks a bit too solid, and the sky might look better with a bit of shading. All those details must have taken a long time to do 0_o I don't think I would have had the patience.

Nice work 2

:-) Charles Hamel replies: "2. *nods* I should really learn to draw them, and the background with 0.5 pencil would have been nuts lol. True it would look a lot nicer. Patience isn't that important though, I think what helps is to feel inspired.Thanks for your comment."

Ahhh very well done, hi i am almost an elfwood artist just got to compress my pictures a little bit. Anyway this is great picture, perferably i would not use only .5 pencil but that is me, you make it look great using only that. I love your teqniquue of drawing with lines(another thing i cannot do, it screws mine up) but you make it look great. One thing the cloud in the backround, it goes perfectily with tha' picture but if you want to know how to make realistic pictures with realistic clouds and you dont know how to ask me and i will tell you how if you dont know how to. And you can see my picture with the clouds when i get my page up. Well keep up tha' good work and be mindful of time, take as long as you can on each picture this is when you learn tha' most. Goodbyes

Il ove the dinosaur, yet not dinosaur qualities these dragons have about them. The shading is abosolutely fantastic, and i want to know how you got such good detail after resizing it!!!!. And is that water or lavea there in the lower right corner....?
