Day 18 Fire

Inktense and water color pencils.

[thedragonwithin]

Diety.

Caught up.

I am all arted out for today lmao

[thedragonwithin]

I got out of order somehow and Spyro got posted before these. But here we are.

Hybrid, Glow, Fish, Fluffy, and Cyber.

Glow is with Finetec pearlescent.

Cyber is inkentse and Finetec.

The rest with Inktense pencils.

[thedragonwithin]

Playing catch up because I am just that kind of person.

But we have Anthro, Attack, Mount, and Spyro which I... Attempted Cynder but it's... A stretch. And bonuses on the pictures I used the shiny paint for.

Day 7 dinosaur

Really nothing to say about it. It very much fits my style and I was able to crank this out.

[thedragonwithin]

Days 4 slumbering and day 5 Chonk.

Simpler drawings and coloring because I'm gonna be caught up by the end of the weekend. That's my goal. Might go back to slumbering to add details but for now it's done enough.

Day 4 sword!

Drawing anything but dragons is... Not my strong suite. But hey, gotta branch out. Also done in watercolor paint, which I also don't know how to use.

Two pictures to show off Finetec's Pearlescent line. They are expensive but oh so pretty. Nice to use them in something other than just highlights. And a bonus picture of my cat Tobias helping.

Finally got day 3 magic done.

I've been doing these at work and uh, my slow ass process is even slower. I'll catch up one of these days.

Prompt 2 Teeth. I hated this prompt. I don't like the picture. It's done. Next.

[thedragonwithin]

Doing Smaugust this year and doing great already playing catch up! But I'm using @pencilcat 's prompt list and Day One is from a book.

So we have Morkeleb the Black, from Barbara Hambly's Winterlands series. One of the old fantasy series I return to time and again.

Done in water colored pencils. Still... Learning but this is as good as an excuse as any for practice and experimentation!

[thedragonwithin]

Honestly the only parts of this I like are the wings and the fire. 

[thedragonwithin]

Actually got some decent sketches done, and one cleaning image. The dragon will eventually be colored and.... not wonkey.

[thedragonwithin]

Drew some things. I think this year I'm gonna focus on color theory and shading. I really need to learn it lmao

[thedragonwithin]

I wanted to do a cute, quick thing, but it’s turning into an Ordeal.

Also if you want more of my art, follow me on my art twitter. Way more active there.

I wanted to do something for Pride this year, so have an asexual pride dragon! I’ll admit, I’m way more comfortable shading black/whites with colored pencil still rather than digital painters. I might redo it when I have the time, but for now, calling it done.

Mausaunzith  over at Canyon River Weyr! A new Kelper Queen and I just... I love her design. I might revisit it when the adult sprite is up, but here’s this for now.
