I think the feet with the claws are great,with the circular picture below, could you keep the feet too as part of your composition.<br />Super work Carrie.MILLYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15701141335185294744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1355149742719060654.post-78297756839958017312011-03-22T03:29:51.184-07:002011-03-22T03:29:51.184-07:00These drawings are amazing.

I love the rounded one as it reminds me of a great big hug.

I've got a half finished painting sitting on my easel at the moment (it's been there since January, gulp!) for a friend's young son, of him riding a water dragon. It's a much more 'cartoony' stye than my usual, but as with you, I didn't want it to be scary. I'm still trying to work out all the details, just as you say, things like scales and claws and the like. I've always shied away from drawing them too, for exactly the same reasons!A mermaid in the attichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01139858546037879539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1355149742719060654.post-79804853230707039022011-03-22T02:34:34.449-07:002011-03-22T02:34:34.449-07:00I like the ones where you've set the dragon an...I like the ones where you've set the dragon and boys in a roundel - it suggests an egg, and being enclosed (in a good way) and seems a more satisfying arrangement. Unless you're going to do some sort of border, in which case perhaps a square might be better. Oh dear, I'm not helping, am I?Freyalynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11911845535682123517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1355149742719060654.post-89940384711855344802011-03-22T00:20:15.105-07:002011-03-22T00:20:15.105-07:00These drawings are gorgeous.

The circle has a feeling of completeness, and comfort; while the square has a bit of uneasiness, and of peeking in on something as an observer. Guess it depends on the mood one is after. In any event, they're both fabulous!Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01674923395134039554noreply@blogger.com
