Oriental-Style Dragon

[pameladlloyd]

This is another image I've scanned in from my journal. I started this one a week or two ago and have been working on it now and then. This is basically Stage 2; Stage 1 was the pencil drawing, Stage 2 was inking the drawing and erasing the underlying pencil.

Note that I looked at several images of oriental dragons, mostly Japanese, and used parts of my favorites as reference, but none of this is traced. It's got a lot of flaws, but I'm still pretty proud of it.

I love it! Chinese dragons are beautiful--I remember first noticing them in paper cut-outs.

Thank you! 8) I think dragons, all dragons, are totally cool. I love the long sinuous bodies of Oriental dragons.
