My first, full-scale (no pun intended), all-out commission!!! This was done for
 . She wanted a dragon, something with a lot of blues and greens that she could hang up in her dorm room!  Well, this ended up being a lot more work than I had thought it would be, but was a valuable experience; taught me a little bit about how to price things, or how nit-picky I should be based on that particular project. It was also an opportunity to make a less simplistic dragon, and experiment with some new features or decorative details that I haven't tried before! This was done in pencil first, then inked (micron pens), and finally, colored in Prismacolor pencils. I went over everything again with a colored pencil blender, though certain highlighted areas were burnished with white. (I hate that technique, but I wanted to see if it would lighten the color at all, and it had a minimal effect. So I wasn't really pleased with that, but I was satisfied with the drawing as a whole) Note me if you have an interest in commissions! |

It looks really good, but question: why do you use micro pens?
Micron pens? umm....they didn't bleed like the brand I used before that....aaaand.....they make a .005 pen tip, which is like inking with a needle! XP Other than that, though, no real reason. Why, would you recommend something else?
and recommend? no, I use fineliners with 0.5 head felt tip, but thats my choice of ink. I just ask because I always like to know why people use certain types of pens and markers.
I myself have always had a problem using micros because they dont go on smooth and glide like a nice felt tip, but I abuse my inking markers too so I break micros pretty bad.
