Dragon: Drawing

I created this dragon to celebrate the Chinese Lunar New Year–yes, the zodiac Year of the Dragon! As always, a traditional hand-drawn piece was rendered, scanned and cleaned up in Photoshop. The coloring was then digitally applied. I opted for a muted color tone rather than the traditional red and gold palette, modernizing it a bit more.

This is the first time I incorporated coffee and tea in my artwork. Since I’m not a coffee drinker, the small coffee grinds in the kitchen were finally of use. Also, I found that Darjeeling tea had a darker color over Lipton.

After a few washes, diluted sumi ink was splattered by tapping on the paintbrush. The dragon was then applied with several pens on the very forgiving clayboard. Overall, the creative process was very fun and satisfying.

Old Mechanical Dragon

Old Mechanical Dragon: Initial Drawing

“Old Mechanical Dragon” is another mixed media piece that had its start as an ink drawing and now lives as a photoshop-textured creation. Dragons are a favorite subject of mine, and they’re always an adventure to produce. I wanted to explore rusty surfaces and took some artistic licenses to my winged creature. The background is a grungy photo texture from one of my many walks around SF.
