“I’m not sure if it’s because I’m sleepy or what, but part of me feels like I ruined (or maybe half-ruined) a perfectly good drawing, while another part feels like this is a stepping stone towards better things.”
I’m still figuring out how this works. I don’t think I will have to pick out every scale wit ha drop shadow once i get the hang of it, but for now, it’s making the process a bit tiresome. As it is, I didn’t really know what to do with those corrugated-looking scales on the muzzle, but I still kind of like them. My lighting is probably inconsistent.
I actually really like the ear, and the scales on the crown of the head came out better than I thought they might.
