I'm thinking of joining this year! I loved all the posts from it last year, so really hope I can squeeze it in

Here's my entry for the September contest - Everyone was shocked to see her show up to school with...A DRAGON!!!

Hope you like it! Great as always to see everybody's entries, so much creativity here! Good luck everyone!

@demotlj I love the color version! Your style reminds me of the original Winnie the Pooh illustrations

@chrisaakins I love it! The mice look great and really like the texture of the ink and brush pen together

@TessaW @chrisaakins Thank you, I'm glad you like it!
@Zachary-Drenski Glad to hear you like the changes! Thanks for your feedback, I probably would have missed them if you hadn't pointed them out

@Coley Thank you! Yeah, it's supposed to be the wing in the upper left corner, it will be more obvious when it's colored Happy you like it!

Hi again!

So now I've changed the wings and added more muscles where they are attached to the body. I think it looks more realistic? I intend to make them semi-transparent, and the light will come from behind and shine through the wings where they are not shadowed by the body.
Also made the people on the ground smaller as well as the bus. How about the basket ball court now? Not super realistic proportions but maybe good enough for this type of illustration?

Thanks a lot guys!

Thank you @Coley and @Zachary-Drenski ! I'll go back and work on it a bit more

Hi guys!

I haven't participated in a monthly challenge since Mermay, but when I saw Will's theme this month I just had to at least try and squeeze it in XD My mind immediately shouted "Dragon!!!" and also my portfolio really needs a dragon in it, so that is what I'm trying to put together. So far I've sketched the comp out and made a quick value study of it (not detailed). What do you guys think? Do you see something weird in the composition or perspective? I'm not sure about the dragon's right wing. Should it be bigger maybe? and maybe be angled differently?

(Ignore the shadows down on the ground, they are a little bit wonky atm )

I appreciate all the feedback you can give me! Thanks!

Love it! Thank you for sharing your process
