Artist's Comments

This is a little quick drawing of my character Frostwing as a hatchling / wyrmling (and for those who are totally oblivious, a very young dragon). It took me an hour or two of distracted drawing. Might get out my shading pencils and give it some depth.

Frostwing is (c) me

Well, having taken a few more moments to look at it, I'd like to point out a few flaws.

The body looks kind of stiff to me, and the thickness doesn't really vary between the upper torso and lower abdomen. Typically you'd see a little more variation than that; like, look at yourself from the side in the mirror and you'll likely see that your chest is thicker than your belly. That's what I mean.

He also looks a bit...longer than he ought to be for some reason.

Next time you take a whack drawing him, try drawing his legs a bit bigger than you did here. Don't try anything different, just make them bigger.

Something else that bothers me is the way Frost's lower jaw kind of juts out like that. If you ever look at a human jaw when it opens and closes, you'll see that the lower jaw "swings" down and back, kind of like a door on a hinge. So the lower jaw here shouldn't be even with the upper jaw, but rather swung down and back so that it's at an angle to the upper jaw.

That's all for now. Just a few things I think you could try. See if it looks any better, or wait a while, pull this out, draw it again, and add those little details to it. :)

Ohh it's not your fault. It's not your mother's fault. Now...you pay attention to old Rooter. It is nobody's fault. The Great Circle of Life has begun. But you see, not all of us arrive together at the end.

Heh, thanks for the tips. Yeah, I accidentally drew Frost's body longer than I wanted it to be, but I had already drawn both his tail (which was annoying to do) and his head and neck, so I didn't want to redraw that. Plus, I'm not a very good artist, so I'm still sort of starting out. ;)

Half breed and proud of it.

Hey, I know you're starting out. Hence the tips. =P

I'll be sure to include them in my next drawing of hatchling Frost. But next up, half-drago
