This is my first dragon drawing. Even though it's actually not a full fledged dragon, it's nice to see I could draw one with reasonable competence... I'm still kind of a new artist so I've yet to draw so many things in the world of art... (on and off for three years now) and dragons are something I've always wanted to draw. I just need to find the time and proper conditions to really devote myself to drawing more.
And as for the image, I was drawn for a guy who's lookin' to get a tattoo of a dragon, I still have yet to draw other dragons in different styles (such as classic western and Chinese). He liked it so that makes me happy.
It's well done especially for a first attempt. The one thing you should really work on is the scales though. They're less crosshatch, and more arched shingles on a roof.
Hmm.. yeah, I'm still aways away from anything breath taking. But thank you for the critique though... it's a little tough to learn when you don't have anyone around to help point out flaws for you and then give constructive advise on how to fix it. Anyways, thank you.
No, it's hard to see becuase it's a crappy photograph... but for some reason my camera hates small details so this is the best I could do. If I can get access t a scanner or manage to fix the one I already have then I can do something about the crappy resolution. Same goes with pretty much every drawing I have in my gallery... it's all pretty bad looking.
But, thank you very much for the kinda words, I'm still trying to figure out if I have a style f my own yet.
hey hun don't worry about finding the style just keep drawing and eventually the style itself will show through. Don't need to worry the small stuff the saying go, besides you just want to draw from the heart otherwise you get burnt out on it
Yeah, that's what I'm hoping that a style will kinda just come about. But I'm thinking that my stuff will probably and eventually be heading towards realism... so I think that's why I have a lot of inconsistencies in any attempt at a style... the only thing in my artwork that I could possibly see as a style lays in my shading... It's a bit more unique I think.
Anyways, your stuff is very good and I hope that with more time and experience and practice I can attain a level of skill parallel with your own.
I just notice in my last comment that I accidentally left out a whole paragraph in there that could cuase a lot of confusion and make me look stupid. I somehow deleted it when I was spell checking my stuff.
Place this in between the two paragraphs and it should make senc enow... What I meant to say was:
I've been trying to write a lot lately too, and I really like your works. And of all the artistic skills I'd like to be good at, writing would be the one I'd choose.
Anytime you need help or anything don't hesitate to ask. I love to help people however I can. Most of my stuff has been in the working since... 96 so...lots of practice and such.
Thank you very much! I might totally take you up on that offer some time. I started writing a while back but it all got horrible deleted by my computer-illiterate mother a little while back. If I ever find the time to start writing again I'd be honored if you could check mt stuff over a bit and offer critiques.
For my stories:
I think my biggest problem isn't with coming up with ideas, but conveying them. I don't read *anywhere* as much as I should so I have a hard time writing off things like emotions and such. I'm trying to read a lot more books lately in hopes that I might develope some kinda idea how that stuff works. Another big issue comes from trying to write combat... man do I suck at that.
For my poetry:
My biggest issue is trying to carry an idea once I've started it. Like, I'll write two or three paragraphs that are golden, then I can't find the words to conclude and finish it.
Anyways, I appreciate your offer and thank you for taking to time to leave me some wonderful comments.
Hey we all need encouragement and such. I've found its wonderful to have someone to bounce idea and such off of. Anytime you need help and Im around as I stated I'll help. Feel free to look me up on messenger and such. They should be listed. also a good one to check out for an idea of flow and such to convey stuff look at synnic's stuff to

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article.
In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
