Description Fullview please! Details can be seen! Thanks!

I have finished my first ever request!

I got a request from who wanted me to draw her dragoness, Skrenva! [link]

So here we have Skrenva the dragoness, sitting alone on a hill, crying. She cries blood by the way, that's why the tear is red. My original idea for this was that she was being shunned by other dragons, and that was why she was crying. But I decided to have it just be her alone; it adds to the feeling of neglect. So it's just her, alone, and crying because she has been abandoned by the other dragons.

I know I say this every time, but I had a lot of fun drawing this. Hey, what can I say; I like drawing. Isn't that why we're all here on DA?

I am very proud of the way I drew the wings. Usually, I draw the first wing pretty well, but then the second just turns out like a shadow of the first. This time I tried to draw it like a whole different wing instead of a shadow, and I think I succeeded. They also turned out kind of leathery-looking, which wasn't intended, but I like it.

I also like basically everything else; the posing, the hair, the shading, the stars...

Goodness, the grass was a pain in the butt to draw! So many lines... I don't think I'll be doing that again for a while.

Anyway, I hope you like it! Please comment and tell me what you think!

Drawn in pencil, colored in GIMP

Augh I'm so jealous of the grass!
But still, this looks really amazing! Skrenva's pose is really cool
I can't draw my dragons sitting down x'3

You see i'm just too lazy to draw backgrounds

Xrnta In reply to Yorialu [2011-10-23 19:23:44 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, a lot of my older art pieces don't have backgrounds... My problem is mainly trying to decide what the background should be.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Yorialu In reply to Xrnta [2011-10-23 19:26:23 +0000 UTC]

Ah I see, I used to never draw backgrounds, or even shade my drawings x;3
Now my problem is getting the hang of drawing them
All I've drawn so far are grassy fields, and sky BGs

Xrnta In reply to Yorialu [2011-10-23 19:33:05 +0000 UTC]

Well, that's a start! Most of my pieces don't really have that complex backgrounds either... the grass here is detailed, but its just grass; nothing else. And also most of my pictures are at night. Nighttime is easier to draw I guess. They all have stars in them.

Yorialu In reply to Xrnta [2011-10-23 19:37:07 +0000 UTC]

Ah yeah x3
And yeah, night is kinda easier to draw, cause you know having just a blue sky during the day time is boring so you'd feel compelled to add clouds xDDDDDD
I really suck at clouds

Xrnta In reply to Yorialu [2011-10-23 22:26:04 +0000 UTC]

Indeed clouds are very difficult to draw. One of my pieces has clouds in it, and those were almost as hard to draw as that grass!

Yorialu In reply to Xrnta [2011-10-23 22:26:59 +0000 UTC]

Well with grass, you make an easy brush for it
But clouds not so much xDDDD

Xrnta In reply to Skrenva [2011-04-08 17:11:19 +0000 UTC]

Hmm... I've never thought about doing point comissions. I would have to consider prices and open a donation pool.

Alright, I'll see what I can do! I'll probably have to make this one a point commission though. I'll write a jounal about my prices in a minute.
