"Dragon" by Stephen E. Hurlbut

SF&F Picture 4 out of 14 by Stephen E. Hurlbut


	Was just a quick sketch in charcoal, to get away from the long teadous work of prismacolor. I added in the chalk just because I don't like empty pages. What do you think? 2005 Charcoal Pencil for dragon, and Chalk for background

23 Aug 2009	Shanna Vosmer	Loading... Isn’t charcoal black? Like the colours, though he(?) hasn’t legs, or a belly. Nice background. Stephen E. Hurlbut replies: "Charcoal is black. The sketch was in charcoal. The background was filled in with chalk. It’s not a traditional dragon, but more like a serpent with wings. I don’t know whether that would make it technically not a dragon, since dragons are imagined creatures and there isn’t anything to define them by other than our preconceived ideas. I mostly was just doodling in class on the last few days of school, glad to get rid of a serious art project and move onto something fun. I just wanted something quick and smooth, and drawing legs would not be smooth like slicing through air. I would argue he has a belly, snakes have bellies, and he is designed based off of a snake, from the throat down to the end of his tail is his belly. "
