Artist's Comments

A classmate requested a dragon tattoo design after seeing me doodle before class started. I am not too familar with traditional Japanese art and I don't mimic other people's styles very well, but it didn't turn out as bad as I thought. I originally was going to add a samurai into the mix, but I was afraid it will draw attention away from the dragon.

Thanks. I'll show him what I have before I add the scales.

Jeez! This mofo is awesome! It's cool how you captured that traditional Japanese water color art with a flippin pencil!! I feel sorry for the poor bastard that has to tatoo that :D

I used a mechanical pencil because of the fine lines it creates. Since it's meant to be tattooed on the guy's upper arm, I'm afraid some of the detail may be lost because it would have to be smaller. Thank you for commenting as usual.

Well its coming out good so far... im not too sure how a tatoo would work but it'll need scales at some point.

This is not a finished product, I will add scales and make some corrections.

This looks great. You gave it great detail, espceially with the hair. I cant wait to see the finished project.
A few years back, a (former) friend of mine asked me to draw him a tatoo design of a dragon, also. Im not sure he ever got it though.
