        @ThisKateCreates Do you think you would be able to send me a quick sketch drawn over my picture of what you're talking about?

          Alright! So, here is my progress.

          I just finished the inks stage. I am about to move on to shading, which will then be followed by color. Yay! :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_smiling_eyes: Let me know what you think.

            You kind of did what I meant already.

            It looked like you might ink the tail right along the page edge as in red. I was saying imagine it extending out as in black.

            Really excited to see your piece! It gave me a laugh.

                Your characters are so cute, the dragon's expression is brilliant, it's made me chuckle haha! Look forward to seeing this in colour!

                  Here is my current progress. Shading is pretty much complete. Also, I changed the dragon's face to match the original sketch better. I will probably fix up the rest of the quirks in the color stage. πŸ™‚

                      @nyrrylcadiz Thank you! I am trying something new, where I do the shading first and then add color. We'll see how it turns out. πŸ™‚

                        I really like the direction you are heading.

                        I would suggest pushing your darker values. This could really help the focal point. The line width is great. It does a wonderful job of leading the eye around the piece. Along with the shape language you are using.

                        Keep up the good work!

                          @Justin-Moss Thanks for the feedback! Yes I agree that it needs to be darker. Trying to figure out how to do that without losing the dragon's expression--changing into something else... πŸ€”

                                  @avfarrar did you like coloring using the "shading first" method?

                                  Thanks for posting your work. I love the final piece. I'm new to the world of illustration and so inspiring to see work like yours.

                                    @djly Thanks! I appreciate that. God bless your journey in art!
                                    To answer you're question, I think that I did like the shading first method. This picture was done in Photoshop, so doing the "shading-first" method made it easier to do quick changes on the shading even while working on the color, because they were on separate layers.
