#adding color

I COLORED MY BOIS WHOOOOOOOOO

Ahem anyways I finally colored Leech. They look amazing. It took me a while to figure out color since I kinda despise it? (Too much work and effort to learn color theory) Kinda why I only do black n white heh heh but I'm glad I attempted. Tho idk if I'll do more since I'm also limited in color so doing others will be hard.

Also layering is such a neat thing it gives this shading illusion that's very cool

Also have draft Leech. They vibing.

I got to this illustration in the book, “Here There Be Dragons,” by James Owen, and just had to add color.

I’m a bit disappointed with the content of the book. Some of it is great and other bits fall flat. I was talking with @estuarymagicks about last night and I think I’m going to turn the book as a whole into a long term art project. Update: I’m naming this project “Dragons: An Altered Book.” 

I colored this drawing from this post and it looks so good! The magic of color!

Taking that first stitch.

and a few more, because……
