Dragon Digital Painting Step 1

[whizzy300]

Oy...I wish I had your talent....

[Zaelin2k8]

It says "step 1" like its actually going to be helpful, but within 10 seconds you've already done dozens of things that aren't explained. :(

[sdsd33]

@Zaelin2k8 He never said it was a tutorial :p

[Fabiuz8585]

It's like the dragon was dead at start..then you bring it to life... amaizing, great "f.....g buisy work"!

[ultimaterunescape90]

what the best newbie software for painting other than MS paint?

[flydanieltv]

I saw the dragon light a stick! :D

5:40 Haha

[skeddles]

this is really cool, I've never seen someone paint over a pencil drawing like this

[mrirurfkjsdo]

I'm just looking the 2 versions, and really i think it'd be nice to mix both... it'd be very nice, very "interesting"... the version as shown at 00.01s mix with for exemple, just the final head and some of the neck going down... you see what i mean, i'm sure.

Digital parts, just mixed with original pencil drawing is something which could be really wonderful !! ; )

[mrirurfkjsdo]

Wonderful job and technique !

For myself, i prefer the paper version just with some digital colors as watercolor, as shown at 00.01 s... more "strong", more "powerful" in term of art. Paper and pencil will always be so wonderful !!

But nice wip to see ! and your Deviant is a real pleasure !

Thank's.

[FatalDeathification]

Very awsome work. I use gimp alot but i have not been able to come across the brushes that you use. I have searched for them in deviant art but cant quite find them, so i was wondering if perhaps you could tell me what style brushes you are using. Thanks and keep up the good work.

[kagomeadc]

at sec 1-2...how did u do that?

[jack02krauser]

1-what tools did you use more to make this amazing painting?

2-do you have an account on deviantart or something?

[joaodapinhanhara]

wow!!! I dream I can reach that level on ps one day. amazing job man!! and I loved the song too. even made me a mp3 with it hahaha! people like to hear some heavy melodic medieval thing along with those kind of image. me? loved the funky bluesy thing. congrats!!

[TheKikitoSan]

Impressive painting :)

[momto4boys100]

[TheGamerRabbit]

[TheGamerRabbit]

What program are using? :d

[tavisi14]

how long did this take bro

[ZigfriedVonSchroider]

Woah xD that dragon seriously needed a smoke break. "Yeah!" Epic drawing skills. I was just staring at it and like "wow".... I have just started to think, that I am improving by colouring with normal paint... i have a lot to learn.

[thudmuju]

This is awesome! Do you think that you could give me some constructive criticism on one or two of my videos? I would really appreciate it. Your work is great by the way! Keep pumping out those videos!

[frostdragonlord]

r u gonna finish it?

[frostdragonlord]

awesome. just that music was so boring :(

[Akeiron85]

@frostdragonlord Thank you! For the music I'm sorry but as usual YouTube prevented me from using other music :/

[2sol0]

this "slim" type dragon isnt my favourite one, but your style and technique is awsome, great skills ^^

[justskate2292]

do you prefer using the square brush?

[metan75]

Lol in the first 15 - 20 seconds i was thinking.. *this is gonna look real* :D

[artsandcrafty]

Aww. No more steps?

Well, its very good either way, and interesting to see it evolve from a more "sketched" phase to a final, more "rendered" stage. Keep it up!

[saqquara]

Love your colour rendering. I've been teaching art for over 10yrs and have just purchased a wacom tablet, still getting used to it though. Do you use Photoshop or Corel painter?

[Akeiron85]

@saqquara I usually use Photoshop but if you have to learn a painting software I'd suggest you to learn Painter ;)

[Slamaak]

@Akeiron85 Hi: your painting is amaizing:-), Why Painter and how long were you painting this step? thanks for reply.

[Nicro327]

@Akeiron85 what do you use to blend?

[peggysue86]

Ciao =D bel drago complimenti ^^

ti posso chiedere che strumenti hai usato per farlo? intendo a parte i pennelli.. se usi lo sfumino per le varie ombre ecc o gestisci tutto con l'opacità dei pennelli..

grazie =)

[kiraqify]

whoa.. this is not an insult.. but it loox like it was done in paint

[Akeiron85]

@kiraqify Thank you! I appreciate a lot this comment :D

[mmmmmarcus]

Very good rendering and color use. Your lighting is excellent. Looks like he's searching for prey in the morning. The skull shape is kinda strange, but its unique, I like it.

[Akeiron85]

@mmmmmarcus Thanks!

[FuriousStoffe]

Holy shit ur good

[Akeiron85]

@FuriousStoffe Thank you!

[victoriapschen]

Fantastic work. I think I will try digitally painting like this myself. ^^

[Akeiron85]

@victoriapschen Thank you and have fun!

[Finsterdrache]

[Finsterdrache]

[Akeiron85]

[Chaarad]

[standingman]

[Akeiron85]

Yes, until this step at least ;) Thanks for viewing
