Pencil Drawing of Dragon

Hey there! I’m glad you’re here…

I’m assuming you’re interested in dragons…either you enjoy looking at art with dragons in it, or you enjoy drawing them.

Or, maybe you’re like me, and you love doing both looking and drawing.

I absolutely love finding new artwork featuring dragons!

Anyways….

About this one, which I finally decided to title as Dragon On The Move…

Starting out as a simple sketch with graphite pencil, I decided to keep going and add shading to this with charcoal. This was done earlier this year, and I thought I’d add it here as a completed drawing.

Dragons are one of my favorite creatures in the fantasy world. They come in so many shapes and colors…some have horns and some have wings while other dragons do not, which is why it is so fun to draw them…it’s all up to the artist as to what any particular dragon looks like.

There’s really no limitations on what you can add to a dragon or not…it’s all up to your imagination!

I wish I had thought to take pictures of this one as I worked on it, but I got caught up in the moment. 🙂

Hopefully, the next time I work on a drawing I’ll think to take pictures as I go along.

I’ll be adding more drawings of dragons here soon…

In fact, I’m in the process of drawing some new ones now…well, it’s been a work in progress for awhile since I’ve been working on other things too at the same time.

One of these dragons is going to take awhile as it’s a big project, which I plan on doing as a painting in the future. First, I want to draw it all out and then color it with colored pencils. Sound crazily tedious and time consuming? Maybe…but,

Once it’s done it’ll be a completed colored drawing itself. Plus, this way I can use the finished drawing as a reference for the painting….

Because, you know what?

….It’s kinda hard to find a dragon to take a picture of!

Unless you know something I don’t…and know where I could find some dragons around here? 😉

This Dragon Drawing is Available for sale (without the watermark of course) as a fine art print and more…

digital dragon sketch

March 15, 2017July 31, 2015 by Sherry B

Using the fresh paint app to create from scratch this is the first sketch or rough digital drawing below.

I then used the picsart app to add text (your site name) to your photo. In the featured image I also added a texture to the image using picsart textures. Here it is once I was done with it…

Well, not quite done….I’ll be doing more to this in the future…adding shading and color at some point.

***UPDATE – March 15, 2017***

If you’d like to check out what this digital dragon sketch has become, you can check it out on my post Fantasy Dragon Art – making of the Storm Dragon.

Ghost Bat – A Digital Bat Design

February 4, 2016July 30, 2015 by Sherry B

Creation of the Ghost Bat…What did I use?

I created this “ghost” bat just for fun and to try out the Fresh Paint App, which is through Microsoft Windows as a free painting app available for Windows 8 and up. I’m now using Windows 10 with this app and it’s been working fine so far.

I should have taken notes, pictures, or probably recorded some screenshots when I made this….unfortunately I didn’t do any of these as I was just trying it out for the first time.

Hopefully in the future, I’ll have the foresight to at least do one of those things while using the Fresh Paint app and not get so caught up in the creating mode where nothing else matters, except the creation of the artwork itself, lol.

If you’d like to use the Fresh Paint App for yourself you can easily download it from Microsoft’s store and try it out for yourself…I think it’s quite nice to use and it’s free too!

Digital doodle purple swirl

February 4, 2016July 29, 2015 by Sherry B

This is basically a simple design created using the PicsArt photo studio app available for free from Microsoft.

I drew a few lines only…and used the effects and other options available to swirl it and change it’s colors. There’s a lot of cool effects on PicsArt actually and I’m really enjoying learning how to use it.

Another handy thing you can do with this app is you can add text to your image quite easily…

I’m not sure if this is available for anything but Windows 8 to Windows 10 mobile devices and PCs. But for those who may be wondering, I currently am using this on a Windows 10 desktop PC with no problems so far!

And, as an after thought I didn’t have any issues with it using Windows 8 and 8.1 either.

Interested in trying it out? You can get it at PicsArt Photo Studio in Microsoft’s store.
