Butterstache - Update (WIP + Color Concept)

To keep in the swing of things, figured I'd post an update of what I've done today.


The line art is coming along decently so far. I've always had trouble with the feet/toes which is why the front two are still not drawn. Really hoping the toes for them come out well, especially the formost one. The general shape, to me, turned out really nice. The back foot came out pretty good for a first try, but still needs some adjusting. Lots of tries and erases for the feet, so I moved on to other areas.

His thigh is a bit of a bother to me, I've been playing with it to try and figure out some better ways to go about it.

The longer I work on something, the more frustrated I become when I can't get things right. Normally that means I need to take a break before I start half-assing things. Either go afk for a while, play a game, or.. in this case, color what I have done!

It gives me an idea for color schemes and I'll notice things that need to be changed. Plus I just enjoy coloring. As for the coloring, trying something new and so far I'm liking it.

All in all, I'm pretty happy with how it's coming out. I just hope I can keep it up and not screw it up.

Butterstache

Well, about time I put this thing to use!

Here's a current work in progress. It started out as a late night sketch to keep me busy(awake) while waiting for Scott to get back. As soon as I started getting in to it, he returned. I knew it was coming. So I put the pen down and we said our goodnights and went to bed.

I just wanted to draw a dragon... but I didn't know what to do with him. So while laying in bed having a little trouble sleeping, I thought about the pose I had drawn him in. What could I do with it? Then a little flutter of an idea came, and I decided to plant a little butterfly on his nose with wing tips that curled up like a mustache on either end. The name "butterstache" came later.

So I returned to it today and filled it in a bit more to what you see above. Currently working on fixing up errors, adjusting things, and the final line art; But I thought "Hey.. maybe I should update that journal I made for this stuff months ago..."

So here it is! My first real post. Now to stick with this and get back to drawing more like I should have been doing these past few years.
