Another recent dragon, I'm definitely still working on those basic skills. All constructive feedback is welcome! Thanks for taking a look, I do appreciate your comments.
I think I understand Brushguy, and thank you again for taking the time to explain that tip to a beginner! I think that the drybrushing on this dragon turned out so much less subtle than on the other one you commented on mostly because of the more ridged surface of the wings. With too much paint on the brush, I guess that created that chalky effect you describe instead of a smooth blended highlight. I'll keep working on it!
Hello there!
Just one little tip for now: You have used a technique called "drybrushing" for the green highlights on the wings. Drybrushing is a very good beginners technique, but it tends to be a bit tricky. As you can see on those wings, it looks quite a bit "chalky". You can easily prevent this look, by only using much less paint on your drybrush, while executing this technique. This way only very little paint will rub off onto the surface of the wings and it will look less "chalky" and more subtle. Better repeat drybrushing this way a few times and slowly build up your paint/highlight with almost no paint, then just one time with much too much. Hope you catch my meaning. Keep on practising. ;-)
