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!

Welcome to Part Two of my most ambitious project yet. This Wolf Dragon has been a labour of love for over 9 months, crafted slowly and carefully as I navigate chronic health challenges. In this video, I dive back into the intricate details of the sculpture—from the flow of the fur to the structure of the horns—showing the patience and persistence required to bring this mythical creature to life in clay. You'll also see a close-up look at the final sculpting stages and textures. Coming Soon: The journey doesn't end with the clay. I have a watercolour illustration process of the Wolf Dragon currently in the works. It's going to take a bit of time as I work at a slower pace and take necessary breaks, so make sure to subscribe and hit the bell so you don't miss the reveal!
