MYTHICAL CREATURES

not necessarily mythical as much as fantastical... At least there are only 3 different types of dragons and they almost all are the same (oriental dragons are the only really different ones for there lack of wings) cartoon, oriental, and realistic dragons (realistic being the most realistic looking if dragons existed)

i think oriental dragons are extremely lame for their lack of wings. just saying.

I used to really like oriental dragons because I had a strange obsession in drawing really skinny things (if you saw my drawings from 3 years ago you would see all the people resembled noodle with arms and legs) but now I like European dragons, because they are fun to draw with the muscles etc. but I still like oriental dragons, especially their big bushy eyebrows

if you saw my drawings of dragons last year... well the most noticeable thing able them is, well, they were very very overweight.

Oriental dragons are from China if I remember correct. I think most chinese animal things are weird with there way being swirl-affied like a chinese lion

that's true, i think the eyebrows of oriental dragons are the only things visibly appealing to me about them.

and yes, oriental dragons originated in China. And apparently Chinese people are obsessed with swirls.

i could never draw dragons. still can't.

it helps to practice.... a lot

yeah, I know, you can't be swirly without a lot of practice. It usually takes years to get swirled enough for people to see you.

I spent half a year trying to be able to draw my crappy dragons that I could and then like another more then half year getting to where I am now, SO MEH! (yes, that is what it is) and I still have room for improvement XD

same here. Its sorta funny. A couple years ago I thought that I was the awesomest artist in the world. But as I improve I realize how awful at drawing I actually am... Ironic

I know! I thought my fat little unskillful drawings where epic! and now I'm think back (and look back at them) and wonder how I ever thought they were good XD I guess I was just excited about being able to draw anything

Its just sorta ironic that the better I get, the worse I view my drawings

because you become more smarter!

It's the curse of the artist.

well its better then NOT seeing the bad things and not seeing room for improvement

it's strange, the only difference in my drawings now than several years ago is my shading and the fact that now I can draw relatively fast. Faces have become more bearable to look at, but meh, I don't view myself critically enough, and even I know that.

good for you... i guess.

do you draw a specific thing(s) for a long period of time or just a general variety of things over a long period of time? the results become different

yeah

well... I'm drawing people more easily. That's all I notice.

this is so on topic to mythical creatures FTW

why do we have to be on topic? this is spam.

I know... hence the FTW

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

you do that

no I won't!
