Dragon

Di Edwards, about 1 year ago

Wow Penny, that is amazing!!!! The detail is quality work. Congratulations!! Now rest your hand and eyes!!! LOL My only question is whether the pink background would be better another colour.

Helene Kippert, about 1 year ago

Awesome work Penny – the colours and detail is amazing! Now put your feet up for a well deserved rest!

PennyEdwardes, about 1 year ago

Thanks guys! I agree with you Di….the pink looks terrible…I might try and fix it with a brown/yellow?

Terry Krysak, about 1 year ago

Brilliant work Penny!
I was special to see how you progressed through from the beginning of the eye.
It makes it more special knowing how much work had to be put into it.

Mariana Musa, about 1 year ago

Wow. It was wonderful seeing the progress and now the end result Penny, thank you! It’s an amazing dragon and the detail is as impressive as expected with all the work you put into it … give your eyes and hands a well-deserved rest now.

PennyEdwardes, about 1 year ago

Thankyou…I think I will put my pencils away for a day or two….although I have hatched ANOTHER giant project….

LostBoy1, about 1 year ago

Fantastic Work!!!

David Hinchliffe, about 1 year ago

Absolutely Fantastic ….The pink works fine ….Don,t touch it

BLYTHART, about 1 year ago

You must have worn yourself out doing all that fine detail, but you can take consolation in the fact that long after the pain of creation has been forgotten, that painting will still be giving people pleasure. I suppose it’s like giving birth really, isn’t it.

PennyEdwardes, about 1 year ago

Thanks Dave…I guess it is! I hope everyone enjoys it as much as I do!

BLYTHART, about 1 year ago

I want to add this to my favourites – how do i do this?

Dragoncat, about 1 year ago

WOW Penny! I am Always Impressed by your fine artwork it’s got me in tears… sob sob
not that it’s bad , it’s so VERY good! I wish I could see more , I hope you don’t mind, but I’d like to emulate you in some manner, when I get around to drawing a dragon, but I was thinking for me personally something a little meaner, fearcer , and more dark and scary looking, but this is Excellent! and the Pink is fine too!!! because I have no preferences when it comes to colors, those colors really go together well, Great Job! now how about a crique for my critique? was that good bad or just plain ugly?

Dragoncat, about 1 year ago

Heck why not make the background all pink , or a deep purple would work as well too, any color that is within that same tonal range, but solid, but enough on that I know you worked hard on that, rest your weary hands and eyes!

Dragoncat, about 1 year ago

and they eye by the way is Really Good, whatever you do don’t change the eye!!

PennyEdwardes, about 1 year ago

Thanks for your suggestion dragoncat….I am still undecided about the background though…

PennyEdwardes, 6 months ago

Thanks so much Ken!

brenwebb, 6 months ago

Wow Penny… I have never seen a comment column as long as yours. I was instantly drawn to this dragon. I think everything you did with it is PERFECT. There are 2 things that immediately stand out to me about your dragon: 1. This is a female dragon. 2. This female dragon is worthy of being loved. You have such patient detail and there is a sense of overwhelming love coming through this work. It is quite remarkable. If she were real, I would try to pet her.

PennyEdwardes in reply to brenwebb’s comment, 6 months ago

What a wonderful comment bren! I never thought of it as male/female before! Now that I look at it though…definately a girl! I did put alot of time into this one and to have people notice has really made it worth the effort! Thanks so much again!

apjenkins, 6 months ago

Greg Halliday, 5 months ago

Wow, huge amount of work for a great result. Many moons ago I had a book called the art of Dragon Lance and I remember the comment from an artist that the scales of a dragon were hell to paint. Well done.

PennyEdwardes in reply to Greg Halliday’s comment, 5 months ago

Thankyou Greg…yes, the scales were all individually drawn, each with three layers of colour, then crosshatched over the top! I can tell you….if I see another scale in my life, it will be too soon!!
Thanks so much for the comment!

colin, 5 months ago

Amazing concentration skill and stamina from you, Penny!
Very impressive work, and the vibrancy of the colours, enhance the fantasy and mythical quallity of your dragon.

This close up of your beast, is a real test of drawing skill. superbly composed, my friend.

What a fine demonstration.

Which reminds me. I have computerised embrodiery dragons, which I created on a course a few years back. The ulimate test in both artistic composition/drawing and computer IT skills. Using both hemispheres of the brain!

May upload them at a distant time. after my paintingss of course!

PennyEdwardes in reply to colin’s comment, 5 months ago

Thankyou for such a heartfelt comment Colin! I’m hopeless with computers….so 3D rendering is a little bit beyond me!

Angelique Moorman, 4 months ago

Wow, how colourful, fantastic!

KazM, 3 months ago

Penny, Love your dragon especially the detail. maybe the background could be less dominant to emphasise the detail even more. Now you have it in the computer you can trial some colours and see what you like without risking your masterpiece. As I do dragonboating I wish I could draw great dragons, but I can’t so I will just have to admire yours!

Jim Ross, 3 months ago

It’s beautiful, very well done, and I bet you’re proud of what you’ve accomplished!
