Artist's Comments

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.

To change, first, you must realize that something needs to be changed. --

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!
