Dragon: Drawing

I created this dragon to celebrate the Chinese Lunar New Year–yes, the zodiac Year of the Dragon! As always, a traditional hand-drawn piece was rendered, scanned and cleaned up in Photoshop. The coloring was then digitally applied. I opted for a muted color tone rather than the traditional red and gold palette, modernizing it a bit more.

Old Mechanical Dragon

Old Mechanical Dragon: Initial Drawing

“Old Mechanical Dragon” is another mixed media piece that had its start as an ink drawing and now lives as a photoshop-textured creation. Dragons are a favorite subject of mine, and they’re always an adventure to produce. I wanted to explore rusty surfaces and took some artistic licenses to my winged creature. The background is a grungy photo texture from one of my many walks around SF.
