[jstark069]

Exactly what Smog should look like in the Hobbit Movie.... Just a lil Redder.....

[RedNationVx]

who tought u to draw like me? xD

[Bl4ckVV0lF]

UNBELIEVABLE !!!! Wow ...

[alerochadel]

when I grow up, I wanna be like you ahahhaha

[Jridah12]

@cgsbgs could you please make a tutorial for working with photoshop i realy want to do that too

[Epicfeind]

Wow. This is amazing. Why can I never manage to get colour? I draw something and I cannot colour. Anyways this is incredible, keep up the good work!

[Sartazmic]

I think it is a wonderful thing that you share these insights and your talent. Thank you.

[boskarm]

The drawings you make are really awesome, BUT, it would be nice if there was some music in the background!

[virtuose08]

AWESOME!!!!!

[SlipAllCityToy]

NONE of your videos make any logical or physical sense.

[Kagrenak77]

Wizards of the Coast should hire you for book illustrations!

[CaesarCXIX]

Breathtaking! But you could have had some epic music to your video, it would have made it even more beautiful! ;-)

[007foppe]

also i got a wacom ? it doesn't feel like it can draw like this but obv you are pro lol maybe i just have to get used to it or something :X its a wacom pen btw is it much different from the intuos ?

[007foppe]

im a beginner i downloaded gimp but gimp seems to complicated anything els free that does have pressure sensitivity and a bit more basic ?_?

[CURDLEandPOPPLE]

I ha-ha-ha...I can't do it!!! I love this picture so much! You r a very talented artist. I love your pictures so much. I feel as if I could just reach out and touch them. I love this one very much and I have one question:  R you a professinal???!!!???!!!

U R AWESOME

[Candlepup]

He did that in 3 layers.

What?

[kody87061]

if i could paint as good as the first 10 seconds i would kick my feet up and be satisfied for life

[no1canstopme1000]

omg thats really good



[Wailvailgirl]

dude, once you add colour the dragon just comes to life... not that it wasn't alive before. :D

[Treevvizard]

and your not doing big name fantasy novel covers and working for dungeons and dragons why??

thats amazing skill sir

[SNUGGLEPUFFI]

haha my first play with fire, trying to burn i joke on a paper then i dropped it on my brothers phone MEMORIES :D

[lovedamoney09]

Wow..wow.

[Dragonion2010]

Why oh why do I watch these videos by people who are annoyingly good at drawing/painting? Now I feel like logging on to eBay and sell my Wacom tablet ... ;)

[Allurion1986]

@Dragonion2010 Ill buy it :P

[warloxi]

@Dragonion2010 I've been drawing for many years and are just about to venture into the digital age (been using pencils for over two decades now) and I fear that I'm gonna feel the same way once I get my Wacom :D

[Dragonion2010]

@warloxi I'm sure you'll get used to it pretty fast with your experience. Besides, a really cool thing that opens up a lot of possibilities when using a computer is that you can erase "ink" just as easily as you can "pencil", plus you get perhaps the two biggest advantages compared to drawing on paper: Layers and an Undo button ;)

[warloxi]

@Dragonion2010 I can certainly see the advantages of layers and the Undo button, and I'm sure I'll use the Undo vigorously :D My main concern is the feel of the pen really. But I guess there's only one way to find out if I can get used to it :) Thanks for your reply :)

[MeowgeeMix]

the fast forward is over 9000!? :D

[sweetdreamscandyshop]

5 dislikes? I would love to see them try to paint something like this is just under 2 hours

[MrDraakki]

@sweetdreamscandyshop Well i can draw something like that under 2 hours but i liked this video :)

[xXHolyBongXx]

OMFG!!!!

More im dosn`t have to say 

[WuzitWorthit]

ONE HOUR AND TWENTY MINUTES?! FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUSQJKNSJQIOF­DJOWIJDEQ!!!!!!!!!

[alina4917]

[TheThundercycle]

5 people got burned by that fire

[mastawave]

[NazzyDragon]

By chance would you paint a dragon for moi? <3 Your style of drawing dragons is fantastic<3

[PuppyBunnyKittenErin]

I would stop at about 0:07 and feel like an accomplished woman.

[coockieman1]

[ratedfx]

[bonezillion]

Not saying I could do it, but it doesn't look like there's much to it.

[Callibanda]

I salute you Master!

[DarkWonderer47]

[TheMONKEYMAN827]

How long did it really take you to do this?

[ilovepiefyi]

@TheMONKEYMAN827 It says it took him approx. 1 hour and 20 mins.

[surttan1]

@TheMONKEYMAN827 1 hour and 20 minutes

[PinkySnuggles]

Woah. To be honest, I would have felt pleased if I could draw something like 0:10!

[Winternightsdream]

Where did you learn how to do this?? It'd be super cool to go to college for this!!

[AIM2790]

[Skelulu]

[DementedSamus]

[bejewzus]

Really good, but I don't like digital art. It feels impersonal and detached from the art to me.

[xXTARBOSAURXx]

КРАСАВЕЦ!!!

[ZeldaEmu]

How the heck are you alive after all those scales!?

[nimbleeaton]

This is Photoshop drawing, not painting...

[FirstChoiceEditsHD]

[Exgaves]

@cremallerus1122 Why doesn't anyone ever read the description...

[Horsaz]

I know it might sound silly/stupid, but sometimes, when I watch one of your videos, I cry. Because they're so damn beautiful artworks!

[Blue57Chevy]

This is totally awesome!!!! Great job!

[MirelaK75]

OMG!! And all in two layers!!?? I am going to faint

[MrTubiology]

You are absolutely amazing :) Have pushed myself to do sketches daily to atleast come a bit closer to your level.. will take a while but am v v inspired by your work.. keep it up :)

[isator160]

[sims2videomakerXD]

You should paint a mommy dragon and a baby dragon! :DD

[MissFlying1]

Wauw :O

I cant BELIVE u have the patient!!! :O

Amazing! ;)

[ihav3noidea]

Hey Chris, I have been watching pretty much all of your videos, and I am just amazed at the talent you have. If you don't mind, I have been wanting to know for a while now, are you working on a project, or just chilling out? :P

Also, (this is completely random) do you play xbox? If so what is your Gamertag?

Thanks in advance! Good luck drawing!

[olafituch]

smok bardzo podobny to red dragon z metin2 :D

[spacecadetspiff1989]

3 people have been eaten by dragons, know someone who has been eaten by dragons or are just about to get eaten by a dragon.

On another note, you always impress me with everything you draw - so crisp and precise, colourful and alive. You sire are artistic inspiration and I doubt just for myself.

[Nightcrawlersgal101]

I love your texturizing style. It makes it very realistic. Love all your works ^^ keep it up

[BennyKH]

You got fucking skillz !!!!!!!!!

[gothoftheweyr]

You did all this without maing any mistakes and stopping anywhere???? :O

[MaFiA7656]

3 people failed trying to draw this image

[demonshade500025]

What paint program do you use. MS paint doesn't seem to do as much as this, or at least not as good.

[Brokenfingertips]

1 hour and 20 minutes on one layer.... so sick.

[ThaoPhu999]

wait wait wait!!!! You did this...in ONE LAYER!?!? THAT IS INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!! I AM OFFICIALLY NOW YOUR STALKER!!!!! XD

[bjorni9285]

How do you make the scales so easy?



[namekianer1]

combined it with music and it would be perfect.

[SuperGriko]

UGH.

YOU PEOPLE AND YOUR TALENT.

<3

[MemfoMafian]

i commented somewhere earlier about the comparison of the digital and traditional, in addition to that i draw and do different kinds of arts and then i work with photo shop too, and to me digital art would be the most difficult, especially drawing things out. cheating i think would be more like scanning photos. i dont know why anyone hates on this. your a bad ass artist, im usually blown away by the first 2 minutes of the videos. im glad i ran across your site.

[13LuckKy1]

i wonder how did you do this? and can you pencil sketch a dragon this awesome? how about elves, eyes, or devils?

[13LuckKy1]

i wonder how did you do this? and can you pencil sketch a dragon this awesome? how about elves, eyes, or devils?

[TheChaoscount]

dragon: shit!! i said no jalapeños



[DSteeltape]

wtf that was awsome man

[MailysFerrie]

I want to draw Dragons like you :'( ( Je suis trop jalouse là!! ><)

[Gallardo501st]

i am like.......speachless'd ._. AWESOMESAUCE

[ShadowPawPaladin]

Dude this is true talent, beautifly done

[adman824]

So I've been watching all of your videoes and I've noticed that in all of your dragon/creature ones you do very detailed scales. How do you do them? I've never been good at drawing them and some tips would be great!

[dirtkrazyman234]

When you start a session with photoshop, does it automatticaly record it?

[killawaffles6]

Traced! lol just kidding thats my way of saying its really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really good

[krazycid64]

dude, this vid is so cool man, I mean all of them are awesome!!!!! You are so good. I tried to make one of these dragons, I forgot which one, and I could never get the same amount of detail that you have. I have like ten an my wall!!!! Anyways, this vid is awesome!!!!! A million thumbs up!!!

[boss27001]

เจ๋งมากเลยคับนับถือคุณจริงๆๆเจ­๋งมากเลย

[imSessa]

Why do people hate on you so much? So what if you can enhance your artwork digitally. If you have the knowledge of something you should use it! Why limit yourself? Keep up all the great work and don't let the haters get to you. :D

[chromereaper01]

Could you tell me which brush settings you are using at the small brush...Im playing around a little bit with the settings but don't get to a satisfying result...

[castleguardian]

Omg, just the amount of time it would take me to draw on those scales would drive me insane! I learned very fast that painting to this standard requires the patience of a saint!

[Grigeral]

I am speechless... Your skills are not human... They cannot be.

I am never sure whether work of this calibre are inspiring to me as an artist, or whether they just make me want to give up lol.

[rainbowyoshi12]

MY GOD...

[iLuis08]

I'm the 490th person to like!

[Thearsenalkid]

[HASARASfromroblox]

[TheSkullcrusher73]

Dude there must be job for doing digital painting youlle be paid ALOT

[468Fanta]

You are truly a beast! I recently learned about you in my art class and I was stunned when I saw the videos on your website. We spent a whole class period just watching your videos instead of what we were supposed to do. You are seriously beasty!

[agentjunieb]

how long did that take you

[pleXefy]

hi, im following you since a while now and didn't make a comment yet. just wanna tell you, you're a great inspiration and a incredible artist, im glad youre sharing your talent with us.

[JPMIIIIIIIII]

dude, nice!

[liffaman]

jesus... HOW ?!??!

[CoDisafishy]

when i see you paint i think, its good enough dont mess with it, then you add stuff to it and i dont realize how something that is already perfect can get better

[LostTheGameXD]

Make 2 dragons fucking a hot chick

[DeKNT]

its not good like i can do better

[potterboi250]

@DeKNT then lets see you do better.. post a video of you drawing instead of posting some fat kid screaming.

[DeKNT]

@DeKNT WOAH i did not write this . my cuz did i apologize

[Momokarp]

holy crap

[signevent]

Dragons are extremely difficult to draw because of all of the details, especially in the scales. These are very accomplished drawings. And the renderings are magnificent, have you worked in tattooing by any chance? You would be the most sought after if you did.

[newnilzizi]

You should paint more obscure mythological creatures, would love to see a drawing of a Bergkonge!

[LordsOfTheQ]

You're almost too good at this, but i'd like to see some more action in your pictures, like thedac85 said

[Cynder651]

I really like the way you do the wings,I can never get the detail right.

[banga6101]

How long dose it take u to do that

[DragonKnightDrazil]

that is so Awesome (MUCH detail)...how do ye do it with a mouse or some kind of computer drawing pad?...Well thumbs up and favorite ^,-,^ \m/

[FutureHerpKeeper]

wtf, who the two idiots that put thumbs down on this video...

[DragonKnightDrazil]

@FutureHerpKeeper i agree..there is No reason why this should get a thumbs down -,-,- (like as if there WAY better then him or something)

[ImTheTerrible1]

@FutureHerpKeeper three

[BLACKOUTMK2]

@FutureHerpKeeper People who got eaten by the dragon

[BallpointRubber]

A song that would work well woth this video is King of the monsters - Racer X

[LordsOfTheQ]

You make my pictures look like poo... fuck you... in a good way! :D

love ur pics ^^

[ddooms]

clap... clap... clap... awesome!

[mahydraal]

wow thats a very very nice piece of work! did you learn this or did you use the program to teach you how? because if you learned this youd be quite a wonderful graphic designer..AKA the painter of the 21st century..

[wan2byoda]

wow great. luv dragons. question. once the work is finished . do u print it? and how? what software is this?

[HejaNemo]

I love your dragons! :D

[LaylaDragon]

Your artistic skills never cease to amaze me. I always keep staring at my desktop at the finished picture even after the video is finished too... and then I watch it again.

Keep it up! ;D

[brianverhey]
