I colored this one in cray pas, but wanted to see what it would look like in PSP.

Thanks

Thank you, Kip.

That was the original cover of Weapons: Book of Swords. I've learned a few things about sword design, and we've refined the content of our publication a bit, so here is the current cover:

I like the cover. Just a small comment, though, I feel the layout is unbalanced. To me it seems a little to concentrated to the right of the page giving a feeling of emptiness on the left hand side. Just a little something my eye found annoying. The drawing and the concept is excellent though.

Good luck with it,

Guillaume

Guillaume,

Thank you for your input.

This book will be released solely as a downloadable PDF. All pages purposefully have a wide left margin for the purpose of using a three hole punch and looseleaf binder.

Breaking of the World

I started re-reading the Wheel of Time series, and got the art bug. It only comes to me once in a while, so I took advantage and hit the drawing board. Here's my rendition of Lews Therin Kinslayer, and the creation of the Dragonmount... the beginning of the Breaking of the World.

This pic is pure PSP! I was playing around and was practicing a background scene. Added a little this and that, guess I got carried away, lol... .......Me and my fooling around...

That is one wikkid dragon!

I'm real impressed by the way you keep delivering more pictures fresh to the forum. Keep at it at this pace, and you'll see how quickly any problems you are having with your artwork fall away.

I can already see in the six months that this topic's been around you have seen definite development. I think the best thing you can do right now is sketch from life. You have a husband who's supportive of your drawing habit... have him pose for you! If you have trouble drawing hands, draw his hands. If you wanna keep it fantasy, have him clutching a dagger or a scroll or something. Draw his portrait with horns. ^_^

You've showed in your frog picture that you have a good eye for detail. If you like drawing dragons, you should try drawing real life creatures that you can borrow features from, such as 'gators (common in Florida, but I wouldn't recommend drawing from life), bats, snakes, and cats (the best dragons have a little cat in them).
