Classic Fantasy Illustration for May 2019 Hi-Res Drawing
🕑 Added 2019-05-21 10:01:00 +0000 UTCHi guys! Today I have the drawing for an image from my upcoming sketchbook "A Plague of Dragons" that will be our Classic Fantasy Illustration for May.
This drawing was drawn on Strathmore 400 Series Smooth Bristol using Kimberly's pencils and a Staedtler 0.5mm 925.
Here is a shot of my initial thumbnail:
This is one of the few times when I ended up being able to stick very close to it. (I always love it when that happens)
I'm looking forward to digging in to the color work on this one! Not sure what I'll be going with yet. My initial comps had the colors to be misty and muted, but now that I am here I am finding myself being drawn to more dramatic evening tones to make better use of the candles.
Attached below is also a shot of how it looks in the line-up so far with other images from the same series.
