The Dragon: process of creation

in #art7 years ago

Hello dear friends!!

I continue to learn how to draw with gel pens. I came up with an excellent story - Dragon in the clouds against the black sky and started to create work. First I wanted to create a black and white work. But in the process, I realized that I wanted to add my drawings of brightness and colors.

Here I show the beginning of the drawing process. I still thought at that moment that my picture would be black and white :))

Also, I first tried using a tripod with a smartphone to shoot this process from above. The idea was not very successful. The quality of my pictures is not very good :( The best is to scan the drawings.

Here is my black and white dragon! But I wanted to add some colors to it.

I thought I would color the dragon red. And my drawing will be three colors: black, white and red. But I looked at the result and decided that I wanted to add color to the clouds.

As a result, this work has turned out. I do not know which drawing was better. Maybe I should have stopped at the first stages ... :)

Thats a really cool drawing! I really like that you showed it being drawn, that is not something I see much on steemit. I wish I was better at drawing, I have a hard time drawing stick figures! LoL

@moderndayhippie thank you very much for the comment! Yes, I tried to show the process, although I do not like to do it. This greatly distracts me from creativity :)

Ооох черно-белый вариант такой графичный, прям красотаа D83DDC95.png

Думаешь, не нужно было дракона красным закрашивать? :) Кстати, у меня оказались линеры и слава богу ничего не растеклось :))

Меня что-то тоже на драконов потянуло ) есть задумка для фотосета.

Согласна с hloria? ч/б объемнее даже смотрится. Может в итоговый вариант бликов добавить дракончику?

Фотосет с драконами? или рисование драконов?

Про блики..хм..не знаю даже, в тот момент не подумала, а сейчас уже нарисовала, не уверена, что буду доделывать.

Фотосет, есть интересная идея...
Интересно, что я никогда не доделываю этюды. Всегда думаю, что потом поправлю, дорисую ) А потом смотришь - а оно и так нравится, по совершенно другим критериям, а в незаконченности есть своя изюминка )

А вы изучали драконов? Они ведь разные все, у вас китайский?

Да, у меня китайский :) Наверное не изучали - рисовали на одном занятии, и все.

I love this drawing @veta-less. I have always liked Asian style paintings and have been into martial arts all my life, so the dragon is a mythical creature that resonates with me strongly. Lol, I have never been a strong visual artist myself, fiction + poetry are my specialties. One thing I like about steemit, I can always see other peoples pictures, paintings and computer art projects. Thanks for sharing :-)

Hi @raj808 I'm so glad you liked my dragon. I did not specifically write that it is oriental , but you immediately understood this ;) Thanks for the comment)
