Artist's Comments

This was a copy (not tracing) of a dragon flying over a castle from The Book of Dragons. My art teacher picked it out and gave me tips. This was initially drawn from paper and then transfered onto brown construction paper using transfer sheets. Simple verticle strokes of the colored pencil was used for the foreground. And the background with horizontal stokes. This one took me a year to do and is 100% complete.

I can NOT believe people are overlooking you. This is a crime that can never be forgiven! NEVER!

~Thank you so much for seeing some of my work. I am constantly adding new ones (one at a time.) And I'm a perfectionist so I dont get any positive feedback from myself. One thing about the Dragon though, is that the right wing is messed up because I ran out of room. THAT DRIVES ME INSANE! Lol, but thank you so much...you dont know how much this means to me!~

the colours make it a bit hard to see detail... i can see the right wing now u mention it, but i think if u added some scales (testure) it wouldnt look so bad... or maybe it would look worse *shrug* dunno, i like the framing of the trees in the foreground and how u haven't left much on top of the castle. :clap: nice job

check this out It's sparkles and shines. :D and so does this!

I saw how much detail you put into that entire picture, like you do with all your work. I was amazed at how good you really are! Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying I thought you sucked but I was surprised when I went to your gallery. I don't why people have not given you a look. Well I think you're a great artist and you should continue drawing because even if the masses don't care; me and sevral others do. That's what important when it comes to art. Doing something you love and having others love what you do. How many others doesn't matter. Sorry to get wordy. THANKS FOR THE FAV!
:iconchristina-the-weird:
Thank you all so much! One reason why people didnt give me a look yet is because (lol).....teehee.....I just got into deviantart two days ago! Lol. But thank you so much...I see other people's drawings and photography (including yours Jim-B) and they really inspire me to keep it up! But on a down note...I think with this drawing (and all my other artwork) I devoted too much into it. I really was going to kill myself because of my perfectionism...and as a result, this picture really drained me....after I was finished with this drawing (working days on end...not sleeping ect.) I rested for two days. (Aka: all I did for two days was sleep and eat a little bit.) and then worked on my next picture which was "The Three Lazy Lions" Which was more fun than most, and it gave me a chance to refresh my mind.

First off I knew you just started two days ago. :paranoid:
The second thing is if you're not having fun then you shouldn't do it. Only if you like what you do think then it's cool.
And third, don't be so hard on yourself.
:iconchristina-the-weird:
^^ lol...I do think that I have fun I just drain myself....lol.....P.S. I was wondering....would you like me to paint one of your photographs? I get so inspired with other people's work!

I would consider it one of the hishest honors anybody can give me. I'm happy that I can insipre artists like you! You're going to make me cry. And I'm not just saying that. Thank you.

:iconchristina-the-weird:
Lol...awww your so sweet. I'm tickled that you consider me an honer! Dont worry its not weird...which one would you like me to draw?

I'll let you decide since you're the one who will be doing the drawing. Just don't lose sleep over it. And you know you could do commissons if you had an account and get paid for doing work like this. I'm just saying.
