Day 40 of drawing dragons ever until I’m good enough to make a good book cover.

Uhhhh. So I might have messed up and only realised I hadn’t done one yet until it was 20 past midnight, my friend was forcing me to binge ramparts of ice and I lost track of time.

Sorry, but at least these little persona dragon drawings when I mess up or im too tired to put my all into a drawing, are a nice excuse to draw my little stand in, which is just so fun to draw.

At least it’s a good opportunity to get more confident with free styling the body since I’m not doing any sketching to do it, just going off instinct.

Day 36 of drawing dragons every day until I’m good enough to make a good book cover

I repainted this thing four times, finally I’m happy with this, I quite like it and I’m going to finish this and then experiment with the finished product.

Edit: I just realised for forgot to turn the sketch layer off, you’ll see it without the sketching tomorrow. A bit off topic but I hate the word pookie, just makes me uncomfortable or think of Garfield with his stuffy bear named that. But usually it’s the uncomfortable one.

Day 36 of drawing dragons every day until I’m good enough to make a good book cover.

Sorry I didn’t make two drawing today, I’ve just felt exhausted and the energy is just not there that I had to keep taking breaks. I’m going to dedicate a lot of time tomorrow to this drawing to see what I can learn.

Day 35 of drawing dragons every day until I’m good enough to make a good book cover. GOD DAMN INTERNET!

Sorry I have been unable to do a drawing because my internet has been absolutely imploded, tomorrow I will have TWO drawings to make up for it since it’s fix now and I’m already running off 4 hours of sleep I do not have the energy to draw right now.

Day 34 of drawing dragons every day until I’m good enough to draw a good book cover

Finally, my first bit of good artwork. But not good enough, I would say this was solid for a proper stab and painting, time to do it again and again in different styles until I crack what I want, and then obsess over every detail until it’s as close to perfect I can humanly make it to be.

Day 32 of drawing dragons every day until I’m good enough to make a good book cover

Did a bit of a touch up and experimented with some tips I learnt. not as much progress as I was hoping though since my artist friend I was going to go on a call with couldn’t do it in the end, and I was kind of planning around drawing on that call which is why I did it late.

I’m waiting on my actually good artist friend to tell me colour theory so I can make the colours colour better.

Day 30 of drawing dragons every day until I’m good enough to make a good book cover

Ok I’m now actually using tutorials to learn how to make the painting look good. Pretty happy with how it’s going as I’m learning.

The video I’m using as reference is ‘How to paint THE CRUCIFIXION Free Traceable’ on YouTube.

Sorry for the much more little progress, I’ve been taking a bit of a break from creative stuff to make sure I don’t get burn out. So instead of going until I crash I’ve been slowing down so I can pick back up. Hopefully it works!

Holy I was not liking how the colouring was going until I took away the lines.

Pretty minor additions since today was busy, please appreciate how much detail I tried putting into the stack of papers on the left.

BTW the dragon here is supposed to be male but because I’m learning how to make the cover, (which has a female dragon on it) it means I don’t know how to draw male dragons yet.

(Pt. 1) I decided to mix things up as I’m writing another section of the book and I want to see if I can capture as much of this side character’s themes and issues in one drawing, still working on it though. If I’m happy with the result I’ll drop a line that’s likely to be in the book.

Taking a moment to make fun doodles of my little dragon persona for myself I’ll use in the future, I really really like this style of horns.

I completely forgot to do a drawing until just now. Technically it counts becuase that’s my DRAGON persona

So I think I’ve got a solid idea of what I want the book cover to be now, I’m thinking of making her wings be out and above her with light shining behind them for Symbolism. I’m going to keep expanding upon this until I’ve got what I want the book cover to be nailed down, then I can start learning the skills like texturing better to make it the best it can possibly be.

Now this is solid, it’s messy but it’s supposed to have her wings wrapping around her. Definitely needs work but this might be the road I chase down.
