[Dragonio3]

I use this technique for my dragons too and I'm only 14 XP. I'm almost as good as you in line art! But the shadowing is a problem sometimes for me.

[kenlablanc]

Hi, I just spent some time checking out your art on your website and I must say I am very impressed with your Dragons as well as you Tigers. Your spore creations really impressed my 12 yr old son who uses spore. You have a very promising career if you keep up the drawing and practice the light sources.

[Dragonio3]

Well on my website are some older art I drew one recently and it's awesome, ( for me that is) thanks for the reply :3

[ThronticSider]

@kenlablanc Excuse me, can you please tell me where can I get all of those smudging tools you use?

Really like your drawings and techniques, they're genius. Keep doing what you like.

[TheBlueWind]

SSSOMG!!!! i just randomly clicked this vid and was shocked at the pic! dude, you got talent! ^^

[DragonRider19d]

Very superb drawing. The dragon is truly a marvelous creature to draw. I was caught in awe when you brought it to life. My family too is artistic. My parents like to draw animals and wildlife and my brother like to draw manga. Me , i perfer midevil and dragons as im sure your probably well aware of.

I still need more practice to get as good as you are. Shading especially. Anyways i give this clip a 5/5. Good work man , hope to seeing more dragon drawings in the future.

[kenlablanc]

Thanks for the kudos. I will be uploading some new color techniques clips soon. I have been consumed by soon to be "How to Fantasy creatures and Dragons artbook" for the past year.

Keep on drawing!

Ed

F___king sweet!

[xsaku12ax3]

Nice dragon Ed. I was wondering but I don't really know what kind of lead I use for shading but when my pictures tend to be loaded with lead and really dark, they reflect light and its pretty annoying. I like my projects to have the full range of black to white so yeah middle tone is not my favorite thing x).Takes foreverrr. I've always thought as smudging as "cheating" when you shade but hey, its hella faster lol. Anything I can use to stop the light reflecting?

[kenlablanc]

Hi, I use the Derwent series drawing graphite 2b mid to dark, 4b softer and darker and HB semi hard for fine gradients. I use a strathmore 300 series paper which cuts down on the reflection as it absorbs into the paper more than coated papers do. As to using Tortillions, you still have to pencil shade those mid to light tones but blending allows for a smoother blend and fine subtleties. Thanks, Ed

[fjrifjcm]

it looks so realistic

[swiezutki104]

the final is nice, but not awsome,make higher gradients ;]

[muggxx]

Hey Ed! I have watch you're videos 10000 times now, and finely i think i can draw too. I have study you're shading, and i still can't understand how it possible to make it so beautiful! Anyway, I'm learning! :D How long have you been a artist? Love you're work! I'm drawing a new dragon now, and i hope you want to look at it, and tell me what you think about it. =)  Thanks :)

[ioangrozny]

Hey dude, do you use any special materials or just have particularly dry hands? Every project I take up ends up stained with a mixture of sweat, pencil lead and eraser residue. Maybe you explained it throughout the video, if so, sorry for skipping it, I just needed to wonder at how your result is so immaculate.

[kenlablanc]

Hi, Thanks for checking my video out. I tend to have pretty dry hands but if not I will use a paper towel or clean cloth to rest my palm on. Generally I work from top down left to right and dark to light with erasing out highlights that take out any unwanted smudge.

Ed

[ARATROK]

hey!how can you become a game artist designer?
