These are nice. You did a good job on Thorn.

Glaedrs shading is a bit off in some areas, but that's better than I can do.

And the wolf is very nice. Don't change it a bit.

Thanks!
Shading is not my best area.

They're all pretty good. I like how you go into detail with them. How long have you been drawing?

The proportions are good. The shading on his neck make it look like he has a huge shadowy dent there, and it's kind of distracting to the eye. Otherwise, great detail!

Again, great details. I'd never have enough patience to add in all that. One thing - his head kind of looks fluffy, like chicken feathers I guess as opposed to scales, and his face (where his eyes are) looks strangely flat. Try working in some shadows to help define the shapes in those areas.

I love wolves!!! They're one of my favorite animals, so I already like your drawing. Some things - the whiskers kind of give it a coyote look, the belly usually slopes upward toward as it goes toward the back. Were you referencing a photo when you drew? I learned a lot of things I never noticed when I did that while practicing drawing animals. It's worth a shot.

In a way, it has a neat perspective thing going on. The white spots kind of give the illusion of sunlight reflecting off its skin. The flipper, however, looks a bit too square. Otherwise, it has potential!

Aha! I see it!!

I like this colorful one better. It's a good replica of the book cover, and again your details are awesome. Nice work!

Thanks!
I haven't been drawing long. I started drawing last year....unless you count doodles.
I made Thorn fluffy because I like to add my own twist when I draw. I personally think the Inheritance covers look likes a horse with a horn.
I always have a picture when I draw animals or book covers. I might post the pictures I used later.

Here\'s an update.

Here is my first attempt at drawing Saphira. Ugly, I know.


Here is my second sketch of Saphira. A big improvement, I think.

Okay, these are pretty good, just somne thijngs you can work on.
In general, don't use lined paper! It spoils your work!

Glaedr- you have a line on his cheek that should not be that well pronounced. Just use a tinny bit of shading.

saphira 1- Her head is a bit thin, an imo, the deluxe edition ruins it. Unless you want to replicate the cover exactly, don't put the otherstuff on it. Concentrate on the dragon/whatever. She also looks a bit mean.

saph. 2- The head is too short in this one! The neck is straight- remember, her neck is bent in a curve slightly on the book. It looks more natural having it curved.

hahaha. True, but I did some of these while I'm at school and I kinda need make it look like I'm taking notes.

Thanks for the advice!
I added the deluxe edttion sticker because I was too lazy to draw the rest of the scales. I'm a lazy person.
I'll redraw Saphira now that I know what I'm doing.

The Fire Star one is very good. I love that book ^^. Anyway, the scales are very well drawn and I wish I had the book with me to compare. The shading isn't bad but may need some sort of "touch up." Some of the scales are going in a different direction than the others and I'm not sure if that's on the book or not. The eye is very interesting. I think it would be nice of you colored it.

The dog is really cute. Though the front right leg is a bit bigger than it should be. And on the head, I think you over colored it, like you went out of the lines. I wasn't sure if that was intentional or not. The sky and grass is really well drawn, also. I love the tail and how it curves in the certain way you had it. I love the drawing. He/She is cute.

[Creme Fraiche]

Thanks!
When I add details I just tend to make it a bit sloppy out of laziness or not paying attention. You'll see that a lot.
I think the lines were from my eraser. My eraser and sketch paper don't get along.

Something you don't see everyday....not.
