It's about time I did another graphite drawing!

With this picture, I forced myself to work on many weaknesses at once: movement, perspective, poses, multiple subjects, and tonal values. Done in a dark graphite pencil, Feb. 9, 2003.

I have to work on a few of these myself! Anyway The perspective of the head of the dragon on the left looks very nice. My only critique would be that the arms of the dragon on the left look odd.

Have a nice day!

:-) Krystal Tyler replies: "I was trying some perspective on those arms, but it appears I still need work in that area. ^.^ Thanks for the comment!"

This is a great picture...I've not had the thrill of playing with graphite other than mechanical pencils, but it looks like a lot of fun, all those different values with one tool...

I like the detail you put into hinting at every scale on the neck and head area; those are of course what gets the main attention right off (headless dragons look pretty silly), but the wings, I've only done minimal wing overlapping/stretching things, and few, if any, of them in flight, wonderful grasp of anatomy with the body structure.

Love the transparency of the wings towards the edges, thicker towards the body.

Very well done *cheers* I think thishereperson's right. Stripey's got this one.

Man, if these are your weaknesses, well, they're mine too, along with just 'bout everything else, then i'd love to see what you could do with your strengths! Wait! I can! I just need to look at your other artwork!

:-) Krystal Tyler replies: "Nah, you have strengths - just as everyone does. ^.^ Thank you, and enjoy the gallery!"

Yet again, i'm envious of your talents -_-. But still, allow me to say that the action in this picture is just drop dead gorgeous! It really does look like the grey brute and Stripey are about to rip eachother to confetti.... I've seen so many fight scene pictures where is looks like the combatants are either at ease, lethargic, or just posing in a lucid freezeframe.... But you've masterfully captured the movements, and the struggle, and just... just.... EVERYTHING! grrr... You make me very, very jealous, but I give you my highest praises! Oh, and just as well, you muscle defination is also completely fantastic.

very interesting picture. I love the motion and the flow of the whole thing. Great work, keep it up!

I like the, ah, "bulge" of the air cupped under the wing of the, ah, top dragon. Most people annoy me, and, ah, my alter ego the, ah, professor by, ah, making wings of dragons in flight FLAT, which, ah, is not possible because, ah, of, ah, physics and, ah, air resistance. [/lecture]

I love it ^^()

My mom draws better then that!!!

Though the bodies look a bit sketchy, I really love the right dragon's head and neck. It's well drawn, looks realistic in its composition, and most of all: very cool!
