Artist's Comments
Commissioned portrait of the dragon Kistaro Windrider.
It's the portrait that wouldn't quit! Just when I thought it was done, it decided that it wanted MORE COLOR to help the white parts stand out.
How I did this:
the first layer is a scan of a complex pencil drawing, done with just plain gray #2 and #1 pencils; that portion is pure Traditional Art, and all the stuff that follows is Digital Art. The second layer above that is set to Soft Light, and is used to tint the gray linework; by itself, this layer just looks like a completely abstract painting, like if a box of crayons exploded. The third layer is set to Multiply, and was used for the broad, soft, airbrushed colors that are independent of the linework... for example, the gold swooshy stuff on the sides... that's the MORE COLOR part.
Prior versions of this picture:
[link] Upper half only, uncolored.
[link] Full, uncolored.
[link] Full, linework colored, using the second layer that I just explained to you.

And no one sings me lullabyes
And no one makes me close my eyes
So I throw the windows wide
And call to you across the sky....

To see a world in a Grain of Sand,
And a Heaven in a Wild Flower,
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand,
And eternity in an hour.
