IF: Fierce (or one dragons' efforts)



I think I'll have to concede that this dragon will never be fierce, but he's trying!
[Any tips on adding colour would be greatly appreciated. I try out lots of different media, but struggle to find one I'm really successful or consistent with.]

Love your simple line drawings and love your humour! You sort of sum up man's endeavors here!

I think whatever you used to color your IF:Primitive would work great here....

they really are cuties...I know, I know, they're trying to be fierce, but they're so darn adorable :)

This is such a fun illustration! I am used to seeing very fierce dragons breathing fire and causing chaos. This is a fun take on the topic. Good work!

This is so cute and adorable and a good twist on the subject. Great job!

These are so sweet: a baby dragon, still learning how to breath fire. And the one with the little bird leaving in a bad mood after getting a bit scorched is also priceless.
You've been doing some good work with Photoshop, I always admire that. But you know me, I love line, and very loose line, so I like the look of ink and watercolor, or pencil and watercolor. Color pencil would also look nice...

Oh, how cute, cute cute! LOVE the little smoking bird! Gave me a good chuckle.

I admire that you experiment with a lot of different media, and I think you do a fine job with each one. What did you use for your banner, watercolor? It's really lovely.

These are adorable! I love your illos, they are so sweet! As for coloring, I am like you, I've tried lots of ways. I am liking watercolors a lot right now, but my comfort zone is Photoshop.

He's not fierce but is trying very hard! Very funny!

Cute! I like how the little birdie is waling away... a bit scathed, but unimpressed!

As far as coloring, you have done well with all your experiments. You have to find a medium your drawn to (pun intended!). With me, I started out with a desire to watercolor, but now I find that I enjoy colored pencils more. I have more control with them. However, with practice, I think I might get a handle on the watercolor.

lovely lovely lovely if I could get my hands on the top one he'd be fiercely in danger of being cuddled to death:)

very sweet friendly dragon, nice technique

Hello! said...

These are so cute!! I know they should be fierce, but you can be both, uh? :)

I'm getting super lazy, so for color I'd suggest you Photoshop and a recycled paper texture for the dragon's base. But... I'm sure you'll do great with any other medium, as long as you find it fun to use. :)

Keep these cuties coming!!!
