As promised in my last video, I've documented the whole process of me painting the Wolf Dragon in Watercolours. This is the shorter process of bringing the Wolf Dragon sculpture to life on paper. I love using Watercolours and the subtlety it brings.
I've tried to sketch my ideas on and off for many years; it took me some time to get it right. I didn't want to follow the traditional description of the ancient Chinese and Japanese dragons. But, of course, I've been very influenced by them. In this video, you will see my sketches and a fully rendered Graphite illustration. Then, the first Dragon sculpture didn't go as planned at all. I used the wrong material, and eventually it got destroyed during a house move!
