Korozar

[korozar]

Korozar often recovers and studies anything magical in nature, retreating to his cave to study his finds in peace. Surely this one will be used for only the most wholesome of purposes!

Here I experimented a little with adding an outfit for Korozar. I'll refine it more in the future!

[korozar]

Korozar's been working out a lot lately, and couldn't help showing of his gains!

I'll be selling these sketches on commission soon for $10-$15 CAD! I'd like to polish up my skills a little more before selling them but I think I'm just about ready!

This Minotaur is metal AF

This piece was partly practice, partly a demo for someone. I've been working on the quality of my lineart, and I think I've made some good progress!

[korozar]

I'm working on a few pieces to use as examples in my commission sheet (coming soon!) Here's the first, a cel shaded headshot example.

Koro grossed out by something... gross.

I found some old art and drew my reaction to finding it. I also wanted to fill in some of the gaps in my portfoloio so I could build a commission sheet.

[korozar]

Finished a new piece, a big buff Korozar defending a local village!

[korozar]

This was a gift piece I did for Calem Vere on Furry Amino!

[korozar]

Dragons are born to fly. Korozar decided late one evening to fly as high as he could, wistfully reaching for the stars...

This piece is a second attempt at drawing Korozar in flight. The last piece was done around 4 months ago, and I think this one is a huge improvement. I've been studying anatomy, and succeeded at trying to paint a background, where last time I failed. I'm really happy with the result, I think this is my best piece yet!

[korozar]

This piece is my first ever commissioned work! A reference sheet for CyTreywolfGearz. Thank you for being my first commission!

[korozar]

An updated reference sheet for Korozar taking into account all the little changes I've made to him over the past year, and taking advantage of my improved skills since the last one I made.

I'm really happy with how it turned out, and will be taking commissions on pieces like this soon!

[korozar]

Dragons are pure forces of nature; magical power given physical form. And sometimes derpy as hell. But mostly magical power and stuff!

My last colored pencil piece was a garish nightmare of colors, so for this one I decided to stick to using only a single color and see what I could do with that. I also used better art supplies - Prismacolor pencils and bristol vellum paper - it's THICC.

I learned a lot from doing this piece. Using pencils that actually blend properly was a big improvement, though I feel like I could probably do better with cheaper art supplies too from just having the experience of working with these. That said, I don't think I'll ever go back to doing colored pencil on printer paper ever again after using this stuff.

[korozar]

I wouldn't trust a dragon who looks at you like this...

I'm in the middle of working on a larger colored pencil piece, and stopped to practice drawing heads. I did this sketch after some practice and it turned out pretty well! I tried using tortillions for the first time too and was able to quickly get a nice bit of shading in there without using my finger for once...

[korozar]

I'm not very happy with how this piece turned out, but I'm posting it anyway as I'd like to see my improvement over time.

It's a bit of an oversaturated nightmare. I did use references, but I think that I should have still tried to tone down the colors in the background desipte them being accurate-ish so the character would stand out more. I could have spent some more time layering a bit and maybe some more detailing, but I'm finding layering and blending a little difficult with the Artist's Loft pencils that I'm using (wouldn't recommend buying them, too expensive for what they are).

Anyway, I hope to look back on this piece in a few months or years and see more progress since then. I'm glad I finished it as well, I'd rather not leave too long a trail of unfinished pieces!

[korozar]

Some more colored pencil practice! Here, Korozar practices attacking with a sword with some sort of overhead technique. That's probably a really dumb idea, but dragon scales are more or less impervious to swords anyway - he's probably just doing this to show off or something.

[korozar]

What, you thought dragons were just naturally beefy? Well... a lot of them are, but they could always be bigger!

I was initially really unhappy with how this piece turned out - it looked super flat and unrealistic. I left it for a couple days, then came back and touched up some of the shading. It didn't take much work but I was a lot happier with the results. Touching up some of the most problematic areas really improved the overall piece!

[korozar]

Lately while trying to draw backgrounds, I've felt kinda confused as to how to even go about it, they've never really looked good. I think this is because I'm missing some fundamental art skills. To fix that, I've been focusing on learning traditional art to build those basic skills before going back to digital.

To that end, here's a huge big bull :3

[korozar]

Korozar in mid flight! (Is it just me or does he look bigger than before?...) I wanted to get a little more practice doing shading, and it worked out not too badly, though I think I still have a lot of room for improvement. I did attempt to do a background, but I feel like I need a new painting technique to make it work, so I decided to use a simple gradient to finish this piece off, then do some practice landscapes to develop that skill further.
