Nov 20, Friday's Lesson - Flying, Fire-Breathing Dragon!

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 18:48:49 GMT

Later today, we're going to be drawing another in-depth dragon, based on the input and ideas from visitors to the site. Similar to the original 'Red Dragon' lesson, this one will be completed in three parts. So in a way, it'll count for three new lessons. Based on all the input collected (thank you very much!), here's an idea of how this dragon will look... 1. Red, blue and black are clearly the three most popular colors with respect to dragons. With each of these colors almost tied - the final color will be a surprise. Of course - you can color yours any which way you like! 2. No doubt about it - the dragon MUST be flying... 60 percent of the votes say so! :-) 3. Spikes, horns and claws --- all a MUST. 4. Eighty percent wants bat-like wings. Done! 5. Breathing fire? Ummm - yes, 72 percent. Also, I'll be taking into account the many, many other suggestion that people contributed. Some really neat ideas! So there you have it. This is going to be tons of fun --- be sure to check back later on today... Also, don't forget to vote for next Friday's robot-focused drawing lesson! Jeff :-)
