Hi everyone, haven't posted here for a little while, I have made 2-3 videos since I last posted so I thought.. maybe it's time to catch up, starting with my dragon painting video.
The reason for me making this video was that a fan sent me a message on my facebook page, showing me their illustration of a dragon they had drawn / painting from a side profile after watching my 'drawing a dragon from a side profile' video ( which I will post further down ). They asked me for some tips and advice on how to make the dragon look less flat and cartoony and more 3d and realistic. I am by no means an expert at drawing dragons but I tried my best to give some tips, I was also due another Youtube video so decided I would do a paint over. Meaning I took the original dragon drawing sent to me, and painted over the top of it showing how to make the dragon look more 3d and realistic. For this I used Adobe Photoshop CS6 and my graphics tablet, a Wacom Cintiq 13hd, that being said, the program and tablet you use aren't that important, you could probably pick up some tips even if you are working digital. Bare in mine this dragon paint over video is in real time so get comfy for the next half an hour :)
Hopefully this video was not too boring, some people love long real time video tutorials like this when it comes to drawing, others prefer quick 2 min video tutorials, it can be difficult to please everyone :P See the before and after picture below.
Here is one of my older painting a dragon video in Photoshop, this one was a little random and I was going for an armoured dragon, maybe it's time I learn how to draw a dragon head from more then just the side profile ;)
