Of all my sketches lately (of which I WILL post even the crappier ones, once I get the gall, I swear!) I think this has to be my best yet... It may be a generic dragon head, but it was an experimental sketchbook doodle to test out a new technique i've been wanting to try, overlaying ballpoint pen ontop of pencil shading and using hatching and bold lines with microns across it all.... I really, really like the effect I got. Perhaps I should try using it on a real piece soon...
Enjoy? XD
-Done in cheap, crappy black ballpoint, mechanical pencil and micron over about a five day period in summer school.
My favorite part is the subtle scale texture on the nose. Ooh! And the ribbing around his eye! How pretty! I've always found that ballpoint pen and pencil can mix very well with the proper technique-- this is an excellent example!

Hey! Do you like mystical creature
I'd like to show you some awesome nature related work from more or less unknown artists which deserve more attention - this is a must see, you won't regret it!!!
Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
I'm a lover of visual impacts. I like brilliant colors and shapes. And I decided to collect a whole stack of deviations that reflect that taste. These pieces showcased below deserve every bit of publicity you can give them. x)P
