Description

I thought I should try my graphic tablet, so this came out :)
I need more practise in using Photoshop, it's so different against real media *phew*

So, what do you think, should I do more digital artwork?
Real media will be my instant fave of course, no worries ;)

I didn't use references for it, pleas be patient *g*
Done in Photoshop.

There's a couple great things happening in this piece! I really enjoy the colors you used, and appreciate the time you took to detail the cliffs, grass, and clouds. All three are very realistic! The sky looks very nice as well <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s…" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)"/>
Suggestions: Your dragon is flying, but is there a way you could empasize more motion? It looks like it was just drawn on, but we want something that looks like it's really about to fly! Could the tail perhaps be more stretched, flexed, the legs as well? Is it upstroking, should he head be more stretched as well? Also, work on your wing size, because those wings are going to have to be bigger than that to get that dragon off the ground, realistically speaking.
The above suggestions are exactly that, only suggestions. I think you did an utterly fantastic job on this and compliment you for our dedication to detail and color. I hope to see more from you in the future, and it was an honor to critique your piece!
We hope you found this crit. helpful, and if you didn't please let us know why or why not so that we may improve.
