Day 12 of #Smaugust2018, with a #BlueEyesWhiteDragon as the #CuteDragon! @DennisMccarson suggested I do Blue Eyes from #Yugioh, and I couldn't resist making it cute like a baby! #SetoKaiba would snuggle it IMO 😎 . . . . . #smaugust #dragon #dragonart #dragons #photoshopcc #sketchdaily #sketch #digitalartist #seattleartist #illustrate #drawingaday #fantasyart #fantasyartist #illustration #artistsofinstagram #paintingaday #artoftheday #digitalpainting #artstation #cgsociety #ilovefantasyart #gesturedrawing #artistsoninstagram #deviantart #kaiba (at Seattle, Washington)

Day 10 of #Smaugust2018, with a #LightningDragon! I consider this more of a form study, because I copied the pose from Sandara on #DeviantArt and then completely solved the lighting independent of the reference. In the past, my gesture drawings were very stiff, so I have always tried to exaggerate where possible. . . . . . #smaugust #dragon #dragonart #dragons #photoshopcc #sketchdaily #sketch #digitalartist #seattleartist #illustrate #drawingaday #fantasyart #fantasyartist #dungeonsanddragons #dnd #illustration #artistsofinstagram #paintingaday #artoftheday #digitalpainting #artstation #cgsociety #ilovefantasyart #gesturedrawing #artistsoninstagram (at Seattle, Washington)

Day 9 or #Smaugust2018, with a #DesertDragon among two #Pyramids! I didn't get to make this guy until after I polished up another piece for my upcoming shows. This guy was really fun to paint and detail! . . . . . #smaugust #dragon #dragonart #dragons #photoshopcc #sketchdaily #sketch #digitalartist #seattleartist #illustrate #drawingaday #fantasyart #fantasyartist #dungeonsanddragons #dnd #illustration #artistsofinstagram #metaldragon #paintingaday #artoftheday #digitalpainting #artstation #deviantart #cgsociety #ilovefantasyart (at Seattle, Washington)

Day 8 of #Smaugust2018, with a #RoyalDragon as my version of #NicolBolas from #MagicTheGathering! This #GodPharoah #ElderDragon is a major mastermind #Villain from the #MtG franchise. My version is not canon to how he usually looks, but I still wanted to capture a sense of how sinister he can be! . . . . . #smaugust #dragon #dragonart #dragons #photoshopcc #sketchdaily #sketch #digitalartist #seattleartist #illustrate #drawingaday #fantasyart #fantasyartist #dungeonsanddragons #dnd #illustration #mtgfanart #mtgdaily #wizardsofthecoast #mtgcommander #mtgcommunity #tradingcards (at Seattle, Washington)

Day 7 of #Smaugust2018, with a #BlueDragon. Instead of blocking in values too quickly, like I did previously, I took some extra time to flesh out the design of this guy! . . . . . #smaugust #dragonart #dragons #seattleartist #photoshopcc #sketch #lineart #fantasyart #digitalartist #illustrate #fantasyartist #digitaldrawing #redeye #orangesky #illustrationart #digitalpainting #drawingchallenge #drawingaday #illustration #artistsofinstagram #metaldragon #paintingaday #artoftheday #digitalpainting #artstation #deviantart #cgsociety #ilovefantasyart (at Seattle, Washington)

Day 6 of #Smaugust2018, with an #UnderwaterDragon. It's fun to imagine what a dragon would look like lurking in the depths of the sea. Here's a #GiantSquid for scale! . . . . . #smaugust #dragon #dragonart #dragons #photoshopcc #sketchdaily #sketch #digitalartist #seattleartist #illustrate #drawingaday #fantasyart #fantasyartist #dungeonsanddragons #dnd #illustration #dailyart #drawingchallenge #artistsofinstagram #digitalpainting #illustrationart #underwaterworld #seamonster #underthesea #sinister #squid #seacreature

Day 5 of #Smaugust2018, with a #VolcanicDragon. It's fun to jump around this list and not be bound by the prescribed order. However, it's also tough to manage because I want to do all of them at once 🤣 . . . . . #volcanodragon #smaugust #dragon #dragonart #dragons #photoshopcc #sketchdaily #sketch #digitalartist #seattleartist #illustrate #tropicaldragon #drawingaday #fantasyart #fantasyartist #dungeonsanddragons #dnd #illustration #dailyart #drawingchallenge #artistsofinstagram #digitalpainting #illustrationart #instaart #instaartwork #instaartist https://www.instagram.com/p/BmHvVWnFAAj/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=10juylcaxc2m0

Day 4 of #Smaugust2018, with #BabyDragon #Dratini hatching from a #PokemonEgg- I decided to do a little #FanService for the #Pokémon crowd. I remember about 20 years ago when #Nintendo released Red and Blue in North America - me and my friends loved it. I thought the designs for Dratini and #Dragonair looked legit - sleek and elegant! Not sure why they made #Dragonite look so dopey though! . . . . . #smaugust #dragonart #dragons #pokemonart #pokemonfan #fanart #photoshopcc #sketchdaily #animeartist #sketch #digitalartist #seattleartist #pokemongo #pocketmonsters #pokemonlove #gamefreak #pokedex #illustrate #pokemonfanart #kanto #johto https://www.instagram.com/p/BmE7hlvlF4Y/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=q3c78ohqtuyl

Day 3 of #Smaugust2018. I wanted to do the 29th on the list today, a dragon in flight! . . . . . #smaugust #dragonart #dragons #dragondrawing #dracarys #digitalart #digitalartists #dinosaurs #reptiles #drawing #drawingaday #sketch #fantasyart #fantasyartist #sketchbook #digitalart #seattleartist #dungeonsanddragons #dnd #illustration #dailyart #drawingchallenge #artistsofinstagram #digitalpainting #illustrationart #dailysketch #dibujos #instaartwork https://www.instagram.com/p/BmCp32XFjKm/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=37esno54puog

One of my artist instructors once told me, "You're too precious with your art, you think every piece needs to be a masterpiece"! This #Smaugust, I'll be attempting to draw a #Dragon a day in order to break that mindset - not every piece needs to be finished or perfected, but I will simply learn to explore. Let's start with a #ChineseDragon, because I'm #Chinese and my #ChineseZodiac animal is a dragon 🐉 . . . . . #smaugust2018 #reddragon #dragonart #dragons #art #drawing #drawingaday #sketch #fantasyart #fantasyartist #anime #sketchbook #digitalart #seattleartist #dungeonsanddragons #dnd #illustration #dailyart #drawingchallenge #artistsofinstagram #digitalpainting #illustrationart #dailysketch #asian #smaug https://www.instagram.com/p/Bl8ee59lBnq/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=cyksjvreqg7y

Day 2 of #Smaugust2018. I tried to capture an aggressive gesture for this #RedDragon! Btw, I'm not doing these in the prescribed order 😁 . . . . . #smaugust #dragonart #dragons #dracarys #digitalartnetwork #digitalartists #dinosaurs #reptiles #drawing #drawingaday #sketch #fantasyart #fantasyartist #sketchbook #digitalart #seattleartist #dungeonsanddragons #dnd #illustration #dailyart #drawingchallenge #artistsofinstagram #digitalpainting #illustrationart #dailysketch #paintingoftheday #worldofartists #artoninstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/Bl_rD0TFNAb/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=tjv9kmyyblo8
