My Work in Progress

A sketchblog where I post a few of my scribbles from a variety of works-in-progress, usually from my rather random personal creativity outside of the daily grind. I occasionally, but not always, post the final artwork.

Illustration Friday: "Muddy"

This week's IF topic is "Muddy" from the following quote:
Muddy water, let stand, becomes clear. ~ Lao-tzu

Original sketch is below. The color version above was completed in Photoshop 7. A muddy topic with muddy colors. :)

I like both the painting and the sketch. Nice use of the lighting to create the mood. And it doesn't hurt that I like illustrations with dragons in them! :) There's a good story behind this, I'm sure.

Your other art is wonderful as well!
