Sexy Redheaded Dragon Rider

I recently bought a new Berkeley 7.5X10.5 in sketchpad and here is my first drawing in it.

This is the very rough sketch using a clutch pencil with a 'b' lead in it.

Additional details using mechanical pencil 'b' lead with the help of kneaded eraser.

Laying down the inks with uni pin 0.05, 0.01, 0.03, 0.05 and dong a twin black marker.

Here is the scanned drawing. If you noticed some of the pencils sketches are still visible beside the ink lines, coloring will be much easier with less smudges or rough sketches.You can reduce that in photoshop using the  levels adjustments. Just click the 'Image' in the menu bar then 'Adjustments' then 'Levels' or just click ctrl + L and you can adjust the level of density of the strong black areas against the grey areas.

Here is the adjusted image using levels.
See the difference? :D

Putting the flat colors.

Shadows and hi-lites.

Thanks for viewing :D

Until next time :D

FILIPINO IDIOMS
