The colors are so lush and bright its very attractive.

It's alright, I like how you did the eye and face, but it needs more to be intermediate. Working more on the hair with darker greens and highlights would make it more polished. I will say honestly, I'm not fond of the pale lines on the bottom. It looks like you got lazy and just started scribbling, really takes away from this.

New icon. Timer is off a smidgen. Just got my first tablet so this is the trial run. Any tips on shading would be wonderful that bit seems to be a pain in my ass! : D Well any tips in general would be cool too.

When your doing shading and highlights it's always best to know where the lightsource is coming from. If the light's coming from the right (our right) then the shadows will be on the left of the dragon, so when your putting in the shadows it would follow the left curve of the dragon (and slightly under where part of his body crosses over itself)
Now if you move him up you can give him a longer body, he'll look more powerful. Since your using red on the hair and whiskers use green for his body, they compliment (the grey is not exciting) and if your having trouble making proper curves even with a pen the bezier is a great tool to exploit.
And every dragon (Asian or European) has some kind of ridged belley, you should try that. Just make sure the belly and sides/back are seperated (sides and back should be... well scaley) :}
And don't forget highlights, that would come from the right (where the light source would be or left again depending on where it is)
And maybe add a few flowey ridges on his spine to tie the whiskers and hairs together. A blue bg would set him off nicely.
And you need to give him eyes (poor things blind *sniff*)

I hope you take these just as suggestions. This isn't bad, it just needs more. It looks imcomplete. Oh, and just one more thing (sheesh won't she shutup?) when your doing lineart try the airbrush, it'll make much cleaner and smoother lines. :)

Adding to what sweetcell said.. if your going for a metal look~ like if this dragon was made of chrome make shure you do lots of black shadows and strong white spotted highlights it will make it more metal looking. chrome coloring can be tricky and will take some tinkering to get used to it.. but dont be descuraged! go for it!

Thank you! Both of you I will gladly try to apply these tips! :D

Nice! I like the background, it'd make a good avatar. Maybe more color (variety) on the jacket?

Alexisntemo (Jul 17, 2007)

i'll try it, thanks! :)

Sweetcell (Jul 29, 2007)

This is fairly pretty but if your spent more than9 minutes on it it would look better.

hey mary...
its me aria! i like it but its a little plain..

MelissaMissy (Jul 28, 2007)

I like this, the skin is a tiny bit blotchy but I like it all the same.

Sweetcell (Jul 29, 2007)

You have come a long way, but the skin is a little too yellow, try more of a pinkish hue, that's more natural. And if your wondering about shading the best thing is to remember where your light source is coming from. Right now the shading makes no sense. If the light is on her left (our right) the shadows will fall on her right (our left) that's a basic in art and life. If you need refs sometimes just looking in a mirror and seeing how the light and shadows fall on your skin helps you to understand how they work.

I don't think this sucks at all. Actually, I'm jealous (in the good way)!
You draw chibis so well, and the line art is awesome too.
But why is sailor venus all small? XD;;

Sweetcell (Jul 29, 2007)

Why are their lower bodies smaller than their upper bodies? Is that normal for a chibi? Why is Venus so small?
I do love your lineart, I wish you'd color these though. When in doubt to color DK, send this over to the collab board and have someone do it for you. (those with da skillz)

Cute! I love the cheeks, although the lip colour is a bit too pale for her skin she looks ultra cute!

dridridreamz (Jul 28, 2007)

thanks 4 the crit. yur rite about the lip color. i dont think i'll change it cuz im lazy =[

Sweetcell (Jul 29, 2007)

This is pretty, nicely colored. The thing that's throwing me off is how abrupt her body stops. It looks unfinished with the chest not going all the way down. And a different colored bg (not necesarrily a bg just a colr) would make her stand out more. A highlight on the lip would make it less pale.

Hi! I'm new

Hi, I've never drawn here before, I was messing with the tools, never used this applet before, is there any other way to select colors besides right clicking, I have a mac and you cant right click ^^;
