That black dot in the Sky

I wanted to do something much more dynamic with preston's dragon-ness than that first concept drawing. This was actually pretty hard, I'm not used to having to put my perspective skills to use like this. On top of that I wanted to try something new with clouds, but it turned out to be a whole huge mess. I have a cool way to do it in my head, but I keep screwing around with different ideas and it never turns out right. I also should start working with references with my clouds. Regardless of the shitty background and way-too-light colouring of the black dragon, I think this turned out pretty cool.

Done with watercolour, gouache, markers and coloured pencil on 11" X 15" smooth bristol
