Tag As FavoriteComment		Title says it all! She's a water draggie... Well, this is her head, anyway. Heh. I bought some new watercolours and I had to try them out, so I did a quickie sketch... Then I decided I liked the HAIRS so much I had to give it a background. So... I drew it in at 3 am with Crayola markers. Yay, Crayloa! Anyhow, this is keeping with my tradition of adding inane backgrounds to otherwise decent pics... I was hoping for a stylized water motif, but it turned out looking more like WORMS. Or as Reagan says, shag carpet. Heh. Either way, WHEEEEE! ...Oh yeah, I did a leeeetle bit in PSP, too, even though I promised myself I wouldn't. Blurry effect to make the dragon stand out more.

It looks like she has that naughty look in her face, you know like shes trying to tell you something that she did!!! Its really adorable!!!

:-) Nico Danell replies: "If she wanted to tell me something, she'd probably come right out and do it. Dragons can communicate with humans, you know! At any rate, I think she just got annoyed at me for making her pose."

I think the way you do the eyes is just perfect!! The way they gleam makes them stand out stand out! It shows us what your thinking when you draw. Very nice!! I'm now your biggest fan!!! ^-^

:-) Nico Danell replies: "Thank you... I'm still working on my watercolour technique... I think I tend to make it too dark most of the time. 2"

since it looks like a girl it needs some eye lashes and eye brows. Then it would be A awsume picture.

:-) Nico Danell replies: "Of, for the love of- Just because something is female doesn't mean she has to have giant boobs and/or other "feminine" characteristics to make her "awsume" or whatever. Blah. *stamps this comment with the STUPID brand*"

Oooh...I like that look in the face of this one. I'm not sure what kind of look to call it, but it's a good one!
Very aquatic feel, and such lovely blues and greens you had. Hope you enjoyed using those new watercolors 12 I always enjoy breaking my pencils in...I can only imagine how fun paints must be! -Kay

:-) Nico Danell replies: "Thanks! I do like these watercolours... Never have time for them unfortunately. "

It looks kinda like a horse with all the hair. But I shouldn't say anything since all of my dragons have hair.2

:-) Nico Danell replies: "Almost all of my dragons look somewhat like horses. I love horses, and I got tired of dragons looking like lizards with wings..."

You too? Wow I thought I was the only one! They don't look at all strange to me that way, 'cause that's how I draw 'em. I love this pic. I don't think the background is at all inane. I love it!

:-) Nico Danell replies: "Thank you much! Horses make great dragons. "

:-) Nico Danell replies: "Thanks! They look sort of wormy, but that's stylization for you. 1"
