#1

Here is my first drawing. This is just a very rough sketch to help plan out a future painting, featuring a girl and her tiny pet dragon enjoying a rainy winter’s day. Prompt: Winter
Made using a Wacom Intuos Pro and Clip Studio Paint.

Day 2 of DrawCember. Just a simple cosy sketch not intended to become anything bigger than what it currently is. Made in Clip Studio Paint with Intuos Pro. Prompt: Scarf

Today’s drawcember is traditional. It’s me just brainstorming ideas for a tiny, doll like dragon. I love using blue pencil because it doesn’t smudge as much as lead pencil but it also can be hard to take good photos of. I also still find physically drawing to be one of the easiest ways to brainstorm character and creature designs. Prompt: presents
My instagram is: CukiArtist. If anyone comments on my images during drawcember I’ll try to comment back on yours.

I like your drawings :). Are you going for a theme or a story? I’m curious to see where this goes :).

#5

Thank you :slight_smile: .I’ve been playing around with people (often witches) and their tiny dragon companions for a while, I started drawing them in Inktober and found I enjoyed it. So they will probably be the most prevalent theme but other things might also pop up, such as other projects, studies etc.

#6

Yeah I think that first one has some good potential… so don’t forget about it!

#7

Thanks. It’s actually a base sketch for the next in a series I’m doing of these characters in each season with rain. I’ve already done Autumn and Summer, so this is the next one, Winter.

#8

These events help me be so productive :slight_smile: Here is today’s post, it is the refined sketch and tones for my next rainy season picture that I roughly sketched on day 1. (I’ve already done Autumn and Summer). Prompt: Frost

Day 5 of DrawCember, due to the current confusion I’ll be using the prompts more but not in order since there are enough that I can pick and choose a bit. Today I used ‘vacation’, although maybe not what you northern hemisphere people are thinking of. :slight_smile:

#10

On Day 6 they decided to do some baking, making cookies for presents but someone keeps stealing them…
Prompt was ‘cookies’

#11

coming out pretty nice``~…

#12

The recipe for cookies looks good.
Very nice.

#13

@STFVIT and @darkKiell thanks, although I think the dragon already stole the choc-chips for the cookies :slight_smile:

Today’s is just a simple drawing. On Christmas Eve they heard a noise coming from the roof, and are heading to investigate. Prompt: Candle.

#14

_you’re welcome _ _``~…:cool:

#15

“They were both surprised by what they found on the roof, a reindeer dragon! However she told the tiny dragon that it was nothing to be scared of and that they should go back to bed.”
Day 8 Prompt: Reindeer.

#16

I like that you’re using characters in different scenarios! You get to know them better and it’s just fun in general. That little dragon is adorable and I will take ten.

#17

Tiny Dragon was so impressed by the reindeer dragon that night he dreamed not of toys or presents but of sleighs and flying. Prompt: Sleigh

@justcallmeinsane thanks. It’s something I’ve long wanted to so but never been confident before. That i’d be able to make them recognisable and interesting.

#18

Hey, your little characters are really good. It reminds a tiny little bit of Rapunzel and her pet (forgot his name) only younger and cuter !
Every time you put them in a different situation, you give them more and more personality. That’s very smart !

Keep going and good luck for the rest of the challenge ! :thumbsup:

#19

@Lammakian thanks. I find it’s been helping me too figure out their personalities. I started with just a vague idea but it’s becoming more clear as I have to decide how they would act in different situations.

Today’s drawcember I decided to go with something different but still Christmasy … these three sister fairies are getting into the Christmas spirit, although I’d look out for the smallest one. She’s definitely got mischief planned.

#20

I love your sister fairies!! It looks like you’re more comfortable with traditional then digital, which is totally fine. Try sketching the same way in digital as you do on paper, I think it will help enhance them and provide consistency in both mediums.

Will you be finishing this piece or drawing more of them?
