I started the painting of my frost dragon tonight. I always hated this stage. It currently looks like a 4 year old got ahold of my work and ran with it. I did manage to record the process though, so it should make for a really cool video...I hope! I was really happy with the pencil, so logically the painting should go well, right? :P This is another of my newer pieces that's a full detail painting instead of the framed dragons that I have done in the past. Its a little nerve racking to push myself this hard, but I know it'll pay off in the end. And if I wasn't pushing myself, I would never grow as an artist, and I think for most artists that is the main goal.
I was going to try and finish a bit more tonight, starting on the tree, but I want to see how the video goes before I get ahead of myself. The plan is to finish this one this week and start the next one by next week to have them as prints for my next batch of shows. Ill be debuting a bunch of both serious dragons as well as new Little Wings Dragons, and I'm honestly excited to see which ones people enjoy more. I am retiring several old images to make lots of room for the new ones. Its always interesting to watch as my style changes what people like and what they don't. On top of that images that did really well 2 years ago are starting to not get the attention that they used to compared to the newer ones...
I think that goes with the growth that comes with pushing yourself as an artist, but its a trip to watch :D
Enjoy,
Carla Morrow
