My first ever fanart

So [livejournal.com profile] sibtrelawney was complaining that there's not enough Charlie fanart, and obviously I agree. Now, you may not actually be able to spot Charlie in this. That's because I'm bad at drawing people so he's very tiny and with his back to us. But if you click on the thing, you can see the slightly larger version. Prizes for anyone who correctly identifies the species of dragon!


It's possible this may turn into another Project Crumpet contribution, but I have something else up my sleeve for that too.

Oh, I'm so envious of people who can draw! If I could draw, I'd start with the picture in my head of Will Wood, LOL!!

This is so pretty! The dragons are beautiful and it DOES add to the drama of it all to have Charlie so little. But his hair is definitely red, so no confusion there! Nicely done!

Well, I kind of want to say that I think anyone can learn to draw. I displayed very little natural talent AT ALL when I was at school. But I've always loved to doodle, and I love to look at art and, just as by reading great books you can learn something of the skill of writing, I think that by looking at great art you can learn something of the skill of painting. And photoshop makes it very easy to change things - Charlie was originally much bigger and in completely the wrong place and perspective, but just a few clicks of the mouse and that's all sorted out. But I still can't really get faces right!

I'd love to see the Will who's in your head and the one in St M's and compare!!!

Me too!

Photoshop sounds like fun to play around with!

Oh it is.

'Who can resist a manly Scot?' LOL. I think it's probably a good thing that there aren't too many men in kilts out in California!

What would I do if I had to choose between Gerry Butler and Kevin McKidd? LOL, what a dilemma! I might explode.
