Young Dragon - WIP



Here's a wee beasty I started the other day at my weekly art group. I'm pleased with how he's coming on. Still a way to go, but thought it would be nice to post him while he's still partly in my head. It'll be nice to see how I progress with him.

It was quite nice actually doing something of a fantasy nature at my art class as usually I'm so unprepared I tend to grab the closest flower from the garden and take that to draw, which usually means I don't actually finish the painting cos the flower droops, gets squished or loses all of its petals.

It was sweet when Alec, a lovely chap that comes along asked if I was drawing it from memory. I just smiled and said that yes I had known a few dragons in my time. I think he saw the funny side.

Anyway off to put a little scale detail on him, cook some tea for me and my man and then shower and off to work, YUK! 'sighs and dreams of being a real live illustrator working from home' ........ one day!
