openCanvas: Spyro the Dragon Speed-Draw

Visit my DeviantArt page for more of my work.

Now, I've never really drawn Spyro, so a lot of the time you'll see a screenshot popping up in Windows Explorer, since I was using a few pictures as references to guide me. You'll notice I started the framework before recording- since I wasn't confident I could do the lineart fast enough, I drew my guidelines first and started recording at the point where I flesh out the artwork in openCanvas.

In spite of the references, this is actually my own design of Spyro, in my own style. Though heavily based off of Dawn of the Dragon's appearance of our purple friend, I made his wings smaller and used a different style for the scales on his stomach. He's also a little more mischievous-looking than the DoD design, with an inquisitive expression on his face and a playful pose like in the good old Insomniac Spyro.

Will you people learn to read? Instead of asking me what I used to record or draw just look in the damn description.
