Draw Along

Using the reference photos that I provide, you can doodle your own dragons during the livestream. This way you are watching, listening, and having fun during the stream. After the stream I'll critique and comment on some of the doodles posted here.

* Get my photo reference files in the Downloads tab above.

Hey quick question is it possible to have a download to an image of the dragon on the thumbnail. I’m trying to study creature and dragon Anatomy, and the pose of that dragon is what I’m looking for would that be alright.

I just started drawing this week, and while I've done 3d modeling and sculpting really well, I feel completely hopeless with a pencil. Thanks for the live stream.

You are far from hopeless with pencil...In fact you are pretty close. What I would point out is you need to use more prominent contour lines...I made this 30 min sketches as study for production design...you can see what I mean there. Feng Zhu said when you start studying animals, start with large mammals without fur and repties (easiest), than some insects/arthropods, marine animals, skulls, skeletons, than animals with hair, feathers and fur which is a bit harder... Keep it up! You are pretty good actually.

You did such a great job too! I really love how you shade the subjects and add all those details with the pencil!

I'm not sure to call this thing a "dragon" but for sure it was a blast painting it. I've got carried away by the randomness of the design that was coming out, despite the references, and I must say that I'm pretty satisfied with the result. And all thanks of you guys! This livestream was really great and extremely useful!

Wow this is a really original (unique) dragon, would be cool to see the rest of it's body! Your shading skills are superb!

This was the first time I’ve draw dragons and the first time I’ve drawn any of the reference animals to. It was really interesting to follow along your process and see how you put the different parts of the references together to create a mythical creature like this! Thank you! I had a lot of fun making my own dragon doodles!

Hey! Thanks for the stream. I've been studying early mammals and thought about putting something together with bat and therapsid references. It's a first design sketch so still lacking a revision on anatomy, some gesture and personality.

I just signed up while joining the stream and thought it would be fun to challenge myself since i don’t really draw anything but girls. I spend the least amount of time on the dragon and really don’t like the result of it, but i‘m proud that i drew and participated at all 😊 Maybe i’ll draw another one tomorrow with a little more design ideas in mind. Thank you for motivating me.
