Re: How to Draw Spyro

Hey! I always use box art for drawing and my pics..... oh..... never mind.



Skipping that problem. What about people that want to draw the actual image of Spyro and not your image.

There's nothing wrong at all with your style of course but you don't want a bunch of people taking off with your trademark?

Do you?  o_O

Re: How to Draw Spyro

That's a good question, Afronova!

If you want to draw Spyro in a different pose, find reference material of that pose and draw from there. The basic steps I'm using work for any art style. Using guidelines to plot out your art in advance is a technique used by artists and animators in all fields. This tutorial isn't meant to be one of those "one time only, one pose only, all you have to do is copy this" deals. I'm hoping I can show you guys how to improve your skills by revealing my process.

A few people have drawn things based on my style, but you can always tell when it's a Razz drawing and when it's not. I find the notion that people are learning from me very flattering, actually, and kind of surprising since I never set out to teach.

And to the curious, I am not even close to being done with this tutorial. There are at least three more pages to go (maybe more, I lost count). If anyone has any questions at any time, though, feel free to ask them.

Re: How to Draw Spyro

That's not why your art sucks (and, personally, I don't think your art sucks at all smile). It just takes practice. I've been drawing for over twenty years and its only been in the past few months that I've seen people learning from my art.

Re: How to Draw Spyro

It's like I've said before: practice is what will make the difference between a doodler and a really spectacular artist.

And my style changes all the time, too. I've learned to roll with it (finally). You might even see it happening as I work on this tutorial. I was getting bored and sloppy near the end because I had re-draw the same things over and over again. big_smile

Re: How to Draw Spyro

Go for it, Afronova! I don't own the copyright to art tutorials. smile

I should mention that some of the things I am saying here don't just apply to drawing Spyro or dragons. Using guide lines and references is how I start ALL of my drawings, no matter what it is I'm drawing, be it a person, a dragon, or a chair.

Also, the next tutorial page is coming soon. I just haven't had the time to do all that typing and explaining today (was too busy fixing up the new home for my webcomic).

Re: How to Draw Spyro

i'm getting a tablet for x-mas, but it'll just be around $100. And they really do improve your drawing on the computer. In my tech ed class last year, our teacher got a grant for about six of them, and it really helped us out. They are the greatest thing when it comes to shading and retracing things on the computer.

Re: How to Draw Spyro

I've got a tablet, too, but I almost never use it. big_smile And the tutorial should be updating...soon. I was going to do it today, but I'm in a very foul mood and I'd rather do this when I'm in a better one. Sorry to keep you guys waiting.

Re: How to Draw Spyro

THAT'S NOT FAIR! I WANT A TABLET!

okay, I don't. It seems like it would be difficult to draw on one.

Do you mind if I post it here or should I make a new thread?

Re: How to Draw Spyro

This is great. When you have completed the tutorial I am going to print it out and staple it together to make a book of how to draw Spyro.
