Description **EDIT** Slightly improved contrast and cleaned up the background white.

Ink piece I did for a fair last year. It was sketched out in pencil, but was otherwise entirely done in ink. Shading done with a bic pen. Age 15.

^^ I know this was submitted over 4 years ago, but I love it!! I love experimenting with pen&ink, no matter how time consuming. I have a few things posted up myself, but I didn't do any dragons. Here's an example of my ballpoint papermate work: [link]

I love your dragon work, by the way.

Hehe, well, I don't usually. And it's been a LONG time since I practiced that technique...I should, though. Seems like if I can discipline myself to BE patient, it pays off eventually!

I almost always ruin my pictures with ink, even though I use ink all the time. O-o But yours turned out great!

Kiresai In reply to Kiresai [2008-04-18 19:31:39 +0000 UTC]

I totally agree, it is hard. But when you look at the finishing 'non-ruined' one you probably can't help but feel 'this...is...awesome...' XD

Thanks! This was a long time ago...I should practice this technique again, but it's one of the hardest I know how to do!

Thank you! The anatomy and whatnot is starting to bother me, because this is years old, but I think the shading makes it less obvious! XP

Zyenthillias In reply to maggot1206 [2004-08-31 03:51:50 +0000 UTC]

Thank you! Yes, it did take a great deal of patience and concentration. It's HARD to shade light in pen!!! I'm happy with how it came out, though, even with its faults, so I guess that's what counts.

Took a wee peek through your gallery... Liked this one a lot! It's unusually detailed and interesting for a simple pen drawing.

Zyenthillias In reply to Peachfuzz [2004-08-31 02:26:31 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! Yeah, I penciled in most of it first, but everything was gone over in pen, and all of the shading is in pen.

Thanks, I'm flattered! (I just put it up about 10 minutes ago, and I joined about an hour ago, so that's probably why it doesn't have a lot of comments)
