💎 The Blue Crystal

I continue my drawing training and sometimes I push the rendering of a test and finalize it, like in this one.
I'm using almost no ref' to train my ability to predict color and light by imagination. Among my new skill, I'm now more confident at drawing and designing men. I can also better predict overexposed light areas and strong sunlight. It feels great to do progress.

A digital painting illustration in a fantasy setting. The scene happens in what's seams to be an abandonned temple that has a pond of water. Many plants and tress invaded this temple, and the scene feels like in the middle of a very sunny jungle. A young blond boy with a colorful trouser sit on the edge of the water pond, he has a large blue crystal piece in one of his hand. It's glowing. The magical object attracts a dragon from the deep of the pond. His massive blue head justs get out of the water. His eyes has a blue glow of the same color than the crystal. The dragon and the object looks somehow connected.

J'ai pas tout compris, mais c'est chouette.
Si tu progresse encore, j'ai hâte de voir ^^

Et très belle peinture, j'aime bien le regard que les deux s'échangent, il peut vouloir dire beaucoup de choses différentes ^^

para mim está muito bom, mas me falta o treinamento de ver as diferenças 🤗

for me it's very good, but I lack the training to see the differences 🤗

That is amazing! If that was a book's cover, I would want to read its story.
I imagine the dialogue in this scene starting with the dragon, asking "Why have you awaken me, my son?"

I'll be glad to see these characters having a longer story together.

Could we talk about intuitive (and less technical) drawing?

It is a very beautiful drawing. Cheer. I love the vibe.

Je ne savait pas que dessiner des personnages masculins pouvait être plus difficile. Pour quelle raison, en fait ?

@stemy Pour des seconds rôles, j'ai jamais eu de soucis (le roi, l'officier, les armées, les vendeurs dans Pepper&Carrot), mais j'ai jamais reussi à m'attacher à un personnage masculin pour lui donner un rôle plus important. Probablement car je trouvais le design à chaque fois plus caricatural et moche. Mais en fait, je n'avais pas assez travailler sur mes propres goûts esthétique en matière de masculin pour me décider sur le charisme ou son histoire. Là, je travaille dessus (enfin).

C'est intéressant. J'espère toutefois qu'ils ne prendront pas non plus trop de place, c'est si rare les séries où les personnages importants sont pratiquement tous féminins.
