And I’m entering Sunday Sketches for the first time in ages. I have so missed joining in our art community so I’ve now made it a priority.
This week’s sketching has been revolving around finding a new dragon to paint. I finished the last one last week, and I’m eager to explore the subject more.
I’m particularly interested in the eyes so I’m trying to make them a strong element. The first scribble came up with this…
He has some admirable elements, but not what I’m looking for.
Then came Matchbox Dragon…
Who would look fine, if he didn’t look like a monkey.
So I kept scribbling and last night came up with this…
Foiled by Gravity Dragon. He is only at thumbnail stage and still has a long of developmental work to be done on him before I’d even attempt to paint him, but I’m liking him. He has attitude. You may notice that he has no tail as yet and is currently sporting chicken feet – I need to work out his anatomy quite a bit more 😀
And those are the sketches I scribbled down this week. don’t forget to drop by Sunday Sketches and see what all the other eager sketchers have been up to.
Best wishes,
Liz

What darling sketches of your dragons. They looks so cute, I won’t be afraid… HaHa
Thanks, Wanda 😀 Yes, I’m going more for comical than terrifying, though I must say, I might try that down the track 😀 A good test of skills.

Cute sketches Liz, welcome back!
Thankyou so much, Christine. Happy Sunday!

He’s looking great! Can’t wait to see him in color;)
Thankyou, Karen! He needs some work, but I’m confident he will work out 😀

I love all of your sketches and enjoyed seeing how each dragon was different. A dragon with attitude – that’s my kind of dragon.
Thank you, Ginny! I’m hoping to do a series of dragons each with their own personality 😀 Attitude is always fun to illustrate 😀

What fun dragon sketches! I love the Matchbox Dragon!
Thank you, Rita! Matchbox dragon is fun, but he has yet to convince me he isn’t a monkey 😀 I think I need to do some more work on him.

These three little dragons are superb! Especially love the matchbox dragon with its sweet smile and the eyes looking upwards and outwards…
Lovely!
Thankyou, Mandy! That is the third comment I’ve had about Matchbox Dragon. Maybe I should reconsider developing him into a painting 😀
Best wishes,

You have the best looking dragons around. LOVE the eyes. I really like the personality in each. 🙂
Aww, Alexandra, you are too kind 😀 Thankyou for your encouraging words. It is the eyes that I’m really trying to focus on. I like drawing/painting eyes and I thought dragons would be a great vehicle to play with. Happy Sunday (even though I’m now in Thursday, but hey, any day for a good Sunday Sketch :D).
Best wishes,
