Part I: A Dragon's Gen is it's Design (Say that 10 times fast.)

A lot of people ask me how I ome up with the design of my dragons. It's fairly simple. Before I begin, I write down EVERYTHING I'm a fan of. Be VERY VERY specific;

Example: The like Resident Evil... What's so interesting about Resident Evil? ...The monsters... Which monster do I like best? ...The Hunter Gamma... What's so interesting about the Hunter Gamma? ...The fact that it doesn't have any eyes. XD (end example.)

I do that for ALL my fan-isms. Knowing what features my dragons will have increases my ability to draw it correctly.

PART II: The Basics

No details -- we just want the LINE ART right now. Mesh together all the features you find interesting into your dragon. A wise and remarkable artist once told me to always start at the head, as that is the body part that throws off proportions the most.

Example: Not quite finished yet, but here's what I have: I call it, the Gamma Draco.

Parts III and IV coming soon!!

^^/ Hahaha, everyone loves a good dragon, yup? I suppose that's why you guys never really see any of my art on the site -- because none of it's Balto-related!! :lol:

Anyway, Part 2 to Part II:
