Description My hand hurts so very much! This took the best part of three days. And i can still see the mistakes and stuff -.-.
So basically i took these two pictures (links below), downloaded them, pasted them to my (rubbish) drawing program (and fiddled around with the size for ages lol). Next i basically traced the outline of the girl and the background. And spent hours and hours colouring it all by hand. (Again, my drawing program does not have textures... or else some of it may have been a little easier)
Lately i fail at dragons, so very much. I just can't seem to make them look more realistic and i really hate with a passion drawing in a cartoony style (although i often love others work in that style)
I need more practice, at everything.

I really like the textures you've created in this picture, especially with the clothes. It looks very nice

The magic looks very interesting. If I could cast something that looks like that out of my hands I'd be pretty excited ;D

engaging, eyecatching, however, vary your colors to make edges more defined, you suffer from what I do in my drawings all the time; vary those color values!
