The Dragon of Autumn by

This fellow is as happy as I am that the air has turned crisp and there’s a smell of leaves turning in the air… There’s just something about the brisk breezes and bright blue skies of autumn that are refreshing after the heavy heat of summer.

I’m also happy to be starting a new series of dragon drawings, which should begin appearing before the winter holidays begin. :)

I’ve posted a step-by-step look at how this image was made on my blog for those who are curious.

Here’s a closeup of the art:

Now joined by The Dragon of Winter

This image is available as wall art from this page.
Because of the frame around the image, there is a separate page for cards

You can also buy this image on a T-shirt — also looks fantastic as a sticker!

The original art was with brush-pen and Microns on smooth bristol, 17×14″ and was then scanned and colored digitally. © 2009 Stephanie Smith

  • LOL… I didn’t even think about that! Thanks Winona!
