Learn my techniques for creating dragons digitally in photoshop by using real photos of an alligator. I?begin by taking you though my process and inspiration on how (and why) I?draw my dragons the way I do. (Inspirations from the past combined?with modern studies of anatomy in dinosaurs and real animals.) The actual painting itself is a new frontier for me, as I?challenge myself to go another level beyond?the typical way that I?have always illustrated dragons up until now. Not only do I explore intricate detail for both the creature and this surroundings, I also stumble a bit with a few things (such as the background) and show you how I recover from that.
