muhelos Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 Very nice linework. i always struggle with linework. Only thing i can say is make sure it's shaded right and the wings seem a bit too symetricle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemonfish Posted January 2, 2006 Author Share Posted January 2, 2006 Ok i've done some shading, Gotta work on some texture now and add some more details Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MD666 Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 The lines on the face are too dark, and like you said, it needs some texture and highlights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Despaxes Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 looks too blockish and symmetrical..... also doesnt look reptillian enough thanks everyone for the sigs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D_u_e_s Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 put some more meat on the legs! It's a dragon, the legs come out of the body a tad bit more, other than the way you have it as just coming out and going straight down. Just a thing I drew in 1 minute to help you get what I am talking about. Doing this will stop the whole "boxy" look the dragon has, as if he is getting squished. Just trying to help though keep it up. Not to mention, get a righ ear for the poor fella! Keep it up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemonfish Posted January 2, 2006 Author Share Posted January 2, 2006 I see your point. More chunky legs and better texture shading and lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adroit Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 no no no no no... your problem isnt that they arent bulky enough, it's that theyre at wrong angles to how your pose should look... the legs should come out a bit to show the dragon's length... like so...[bad sketch, i know.] Hope this helps... -Adroit\\ RuneScape Retired since '06, sn= Superstud07 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nadril Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 it's entirly semetrical. If you saw a dragon in real life, are they symetrical on both sides? Fix that problem, and it will be much better. btw, the shading, way too much bright red, you need some darks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not that good but it's a start You know what I ment. Of course I haven't, but i've seen a lot of living things, a lot of animals, and none of them are exactly symetrical. Just because its a fantasy based character doesn't mean it shouldn't follow something. (and common, symetry doesn't look good for this type of thing).
