Speed Painting the Fire Breathing Dragon!

This vid is nothing new or original from me. Many who know my vids will notice that it is pretty much the same thing as a few of the other dragon vids on here. But there is good reason for that. I created this piece for a tutorial bit in Art Scene International Magazine. The feature is to be a "step by step" how to focusing on specific details such as scales and fire.

I tried to recreate a painting based mostly on the youtube vid "Speed painting a Dragon... Again" since that one seems to be the most popular. Recording the original speed vid at a high resolution, I was able to get good screen grabs for the illustrations that accompany the "how-to" write-up.

And even though this is a "same ol' same ol' " piece, I did record it in a way that will help some be able to dissect other parts of the work, as I have included all of my photoshop panels and tools in the screen.

Enjoy.

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 ... ;)
