I'm one of the artist's for Dragcave, and so a couple of people got together and wondered why we still had shitty generic default avatars for our forums. Thus inspired, I conspired (god I love rhyme!) with my fellow doodlers to create some Dragcave-themed avatars. At the time I was very insecure about my digital colouring, and still getting the hang of tablet sketching, so I offered to do lineart of the critters for others to colour.
In order, these are: A white female, pink male, female purple, male storm, female green, female skywing, female storm, female pink (old version), male blue, male blue fighting a female red, and a male green.

:c I would take you with me but I dun think you would fit in mah trolley. I find realism often sits in gestural, the anatomy on that little pink hoppy happy thing is actually somewhat derpy, but the pose is natural and the lines flow into the movement, tricking your brain into thinking it's vaguely acceptable.
...HUR SCIENCE?
...HUR SCIENCE?
true that. I often refer to the flow/coherence of a drawing when I mention the "anatomy" :,D for example on the OrionxKerenas picture in my gallery, my fiancé said the anatomy looked good, but i was like "nuu it looks all stiff and such" and she just facepalmed at that. Since while the anatomy of the dragons may have looked realistic, but the poses and linework just looked awkward, I just said the picture had bad anatomy >> I often have problem with making poses look natural in my art :c
it's a science indeed cB

:D Often one has to sacrifice the 'maths' of the piece to the 'art' of it, I find...it was really hard to teach some friends when to forget the anatomy after I'd spent months drilling it into them. Whenever I feel like my stuff is getting awkward, though, I just...get a big piece of paper and SWEEP across the page with my whole arm powering the pen, rather than just my wrist. Because it's so easy to get bogged down in little details. Personally I found working with ink, no pencil, very empowering because my gestural lines stayed there and kept up the rhythm of the pictures.
I would totally lend you my quill, dude. There is nothing better than inking/drawing with a quill. Quills are to pens what pastels are snapped-wax-crayons-already-eaten-by-the-dog. I cannot emphasize this enough because I have a sneaking suspicion you will also learn to LOVE it.
