My girlfriend thinks that the Annoyed Dragon is cute. So I decided to paint him this week.
This is what I started with:
I’d wanted to “build up” the facial features and such with colors, but I realized that i had no real idea what I was doing. So I then did this:
The placement of facial features is probably better here than in the final, but some of them were obliterated in the process. This was what I ended up with:
I actually used other colors for the shadows, instead of grey, and I think that it was coming along a lot better than some of the previous ‘paints. I did make the head a bit taller than it probably ought to have been, or the mouth/eye placement is throwing it off, but I think that I’ll go back and refine his some more.
Honestly, I think that the best part of the whole thing is the shading I started doing on the bow. If I had had more time than the 2 hours allotted for this exercise, I might have gone farther with it, but it’s nice.
