"BIG" - WIP - Suggestions?
-
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.
-
I love your shading and linework. Great job!
-
@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.
-
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...
-
@avfarrar you’re work is already looking great. I can’t wait for the final version.
-
Here is my final piece! Just submitted it in the contest. Yaay!
-
@avfarrar I love the expression on the dragon.
-
@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. -
@avfarrar thank you for the kind words. And good to know about the "shading first" method - thank you for answering my question. Much appreciated!
