One Wing at a Time: Drawing Dragons Day 275

I’m still working on that dragon, taking my time, building a myth, one wing at a time.

Keep creating too,

Imagined Swords: Drawing Dragons Day 274

It’s not your sword. It’s theirs; you wrenched it from their hands and held it in your claws. They had no right to wield it.

The Sword: Drawing Dragons Day 273

He gave you a sword, but I am not a king. What gift will I bring you to calm or stoke the rage? How hot will your fire burn if I feed the flames? Upper torso dragon sketch holding ?


Keep creating,

She got sweet: Drawing Dragons Day 271

Upper torso green dragon smile soft


She got sweet, ya’ll, like a little carrot drawn in frosting on top of the carrot cake. Something amazing lies inside her, burning bright. You can tell by her smile.


Keep creating,


Kate

Your Wings: Drawing Dragons Day 270

Dragon with strange wings in pencil


Your wings are not quite right — dripping harps, missing strings, no wonder you are comically angry. You cannot fly, you cannot flap, you cannot yet be. Tomorrow, my friend. Tomorrow.


Keep creating,


Kate

Best Sandwich: Drawing Dragons Day 267

Wonder and I have decided: The best sandwich is at Tsunami in Seaside, Oregon. It’s called the Necanicum River.


We tried to recreate it today, but we failed. The bread, the soggy, the nope.


We need to head back to the ocean.



Here’s the reference.


Keep creating,


Kate
