The Dragon that Saved my Life

Well, it didn't ack-chellay save my life, but it did give my artistic confidence a much needed boost.  Ever since the faerie queen drawing I did, my drawings have been rather disappointing.  So in a last desperate attempt, I followed a dragon painting book to create this Van Gough style dragon with oil pastels.  I'm pleased with the results, and will likely enter it in the state fair art competition this September.  Lemme know what you think! :)

  1. Wow! This is lovely! Really Really great! :)The orange complimetns the blue with great contrast. Very nice :) I have a bunch of oil pastels in my art kit and I'm not very familiar with the techniques. And tips for oil pastel art? Really great picture though :)

  2. WOW! I agree with Queen Elizabeth, the colours work together brilliantly. I hope that this wins anything you enter it in, you certainly deserve it! :D

  3. Thank you guys! Queen Elizabeth, I'll see if I can post some oil pastel tips soon. It's really a wonderful medium, as the colors are vibrant, smooth, and blend nicely.
