? WHAT IS #smaugust2017 ?
For the month of August 2017 I created one of a kind dragon drawings all month long! Its called #smaugust , a monthly themed challenge to celebrate and engage with the online fantasy art community. Specifically, I explored and expanded the lore of dragons within my own IP, a magical world called "Terratoff"
STORY:
"In Terratoff, everybody's got a job, even little baby dragons! The most common occupation for these little fire starters is to be adorable and practical "kindelers".
Many of these lantern dragons are orphaned by parents who fell in battle, or visiting from their own families to earn a few extra coin for the family hoard (since dragons love treasure so so much!)
They find a Patron, strike an arrangement, then climb into the empty lanterns to light the way! They can also offer protection should the traveler be attacked by the Rott, or provide an extra set of claws for other tasks. It is a very well respected and well paid gig, most dragons are sad when they grow too big to fit into lanterns anymore. This baby armor dragon is happy to light your way, and offer some warmth and companionship!"
! THE PROCESS !
My process includes several steps. First, the sketch is drawn softly with colored graphite to draft the idea. Next I add colored pencils to add dimension and define the lines. Lastly, charcoal colored graphite is drawn on top to tighten and clean the drawing as well as add detail. The colored sketch remains intact and subtly visible beneath the charcoal color of the final drawing. This process captures not just the final illustration, but also preserves the method and experience of creating it.
