I've been sitting here
all day at my computer drawing scales on that dragon. Slow and tedious as it
is, I am happy with the way it is coming out. When I draw the lines, it seems
that it doesn't look like much, but when I put in the details, I sometimes feel
like a magician! We artist create illusions. We make the viewer think that they
are looking at an image that seems like it has texture, dimension, movement,
depth or people and things, but in fact, it's just shapes, color, lines and in
this case, just electronic pixels on a two-dimensional surface! I often wonder
if God did this, played around with shapes and color. There are such a variety
of creatures and flora, that it seems that it seems that way in all of the
plants and animals present and extinct. I'm not say'n that I'm God-like, but
sometimes it sure feels like I'm creating things. Maybe it is the hand of God
that is guiding me!
Not to get all
theological, but as I took a break from drawing scales, I was inspired to draw
the scene out the window. It has been very cold here, colder than Sacramento,
according to my phone apps, and it rained a little too! I thought to just do
something simple, but got caught up a little with some of the details in the
land and sky.
