Concept Art- Dragon Heads

in #art7 years ago (edited)

Hello everyone, I hope you're well! Today I'm back with more dragon head drawings!

Firstly, the following several weeks I'll be very busy with my regular work, but I'll continue posting as often as possible. However, I might write less than usual, because preparing text takes me as long as my drawings. My thoughts and ideas are very sporadic, especially when writing. However, with patience and practice I manage to organize everything into more coherent posts. Also writing what I'm passionate about helps me greatly.

Today I was out of the home most of the day, so I found some time to finish a couple of pages in my A5 sized sketchbook. I'm trying to stick to as little projects at a time as possible and to finish everything that I get started on.

The drawing technique here is the same as usual, so I won't go into details other than the initial sketches. I mostly focused on pushing my design skills and tried out different sketching styles: round versus sharp shapes, decorative versus simple details and reptile vs aviary features.

After a full page of cute dragonswith huge eyes I moved on to more unusual ones that are in the first image. I didn't have Internet with me or references, so many of the concepts didn't turn out as I had planned. However, there are a few that I really like: No.50 and 56. Number 54 is great as well, but it looks more a like a cartoon bird than a dragon.

Veseryl (50)- an extraterrestrial creature that has a common ancestor with dragons. It communicates telepathically and gets it's nutrition from solar energy.

Rovely(56)- the most curious dragon. It loves collecting shiny objects especially metals. It has unusual ability to conduct electricity.

I plan to eventually draw at least a 100, possibly more. I already have two more pages of rough pencil sketches ready for inking for whenever I find time.

The bird and bat studies are also coming along nicely and I'm looking forward to sharing them with you as soon as they are finished. I draw slowly without any rushing as that way I can relax and the results are much more pleasing.

All of the drawing in this post were made by me, @kristyglas :)

Thank you for reading! ♡

Tips on improving your art posts

Which are your favorites dragons? I'll name them and give them descriptions, if they don't already have them.

Sort:  

Awesome! I love that all of them have their own caracter!

Thank you! Yeah it best to work on ideas when no time to do full art :D

Can i adopt some of your dragons? they are so cute! :D 42-44 my favorite ones. ^-^

It's your lucky day: Latis (44) has agreed to adopt you! She is very shy, but also very nice and gentle. She only eats fruits, berries are her favorite :D

Hahaha! Well, i am goin to shopping for some fruits! :D

I love the dragon heads so much. The first ones were great and these ones as well. I think I like 48 best. Super cute.

Thank you! ^-^
Nymirth (48)- its scales change color based on the emotions it's feeling. Warm colors are always a good sign to approach it.

I love dragons. Especially when they breath fire

Most do so great haha :D

Wow so many Dragons. This ones i would adopt 50, 57, 58,61, 67

Where would you fit all of them at home? Haha xD
Aurither (57)- It can hear all sounds that exist, but what is more impressive is that it can choose exactly what to listen to.
Ravlas (58)- careful, it's songs are so mesmerizing that you can get seriously lost in a forest.
Balvir (61)- one of the largest prehistoric dragons. There are myths that they migrated into the deep oceans and still live there.
Thank you for resteem!

Thats why i love dragons. You can come up with so many ideas and yours are realy cool!

Probably you are right, 5 dragons maybe to much bit i will stick with number 50 and give a nice home to it ^^

Thank you! Haha :D
Drawing 100 somethings is not really a new challenge, but everyone can personalize it and results are always cool ^^
I know there was an artist who drew over 100 robots, but I couldn't find the name just now (on phone).
It just takes a lot of patience and persistence xD

I love these, kristy! They are all so interesting and different and have their own personalities, there are the pretty ones and the shy ones and the sly ones and the clueless ones and the dangerous ones :D :D :D :D

dragons are fun :D and your style and ink are really wonderful <3

upvotes

Thank you! ^-^ yeah it can be surprising how many unusual things you can discover with just pushing same theme.

Bird, bat... "The basic element of dragon"!?
Like 53 x)

Definitely, trying to improve dragons :D
Aryss (53)- A hot tempered fiery dragon, but extremely brave. Also loves stories and rhymes. Favorite snack is mint ^^

I love it!!! I am already imaging scenes like Game of Thrones (I only watched a little bit^^||)

Very interesting post, I love the varied personality of the dragons and your study of bats!

Thank you! ^^

I think I like 46 the best, but 61 is rather interesting also.

Thank you! ^-^
Vilay (46)- a fairy's best friend. Also has the ability to breathe back life into dying plants.

42 is like a crazy in love dragon :P

Yup xD it's very friendly too for a dragon ^^
Idk why, the expression actually right away reminded me of @poeticsnake haha :D

lol that was funny xD I just checked it out and I can see the resemblance haha XD

Sehr Schön Drachen. Mir gefallen alle. <3

Thank you! ^^

Yup! Can we adopt one of them??

Most of the dragons are too wild or inteligent to be pets, but many would make awesome companions :D
Which would you like to befriend? ^-^

Ok I'll try to go visit them once a week! I would say 46 and 56

Perfect choice, those two dragons will get along very well with each other and you. :D
Vilay (46) loves to live on plants and it's small. A potted plant is good enough and if you have a garden that's even better!
Rovely (56) likes living indoors as long as there are many shiny metalic toys to play with.
I hope you have a wonderful time all together! ^-^

We shure have a lot of fun then! Wait... it's better to buy some metallic furniture at home. Just in case of a sneeze.... Cool to see how any of them has it's own defined personality!

Sweet xD haha
