How to Draw a Dragon -- who likes to Draw

Step 14 All done!

when you finish shading your dragon he'll have a rounded look and seem to pop off the page!
See the images below for the finished dragon and a side by side image of the dragon with his shading removed and set beside him so you can see how the shading helps!

I hope you have enjoyed Drawing a dragon with me!

I like this instructable, ive seen artwork sort of like this on a link in Dreslough.com, would that be our site? by the way, what software is that?

[raht]

On the web my artwork is found at www.dragonneo.net. I draw dragons online under the name Malathar.
Dreslough.com is Dee Dreslough's website. But If memory serves she does have a link to my work. Or did at one time.
the program used is Adobe PhotoShop but any drawing program would work.
A good free one is GIMP www.gimp.org It has many of the features of Adobe and the price is right!! =)

is the gimp program safe? i just like to be sure cuz im getting a new computer and i dont want it to start crashing right after i download the programy thinging.

The Gimp is safe. I've got it installed on my current windows machine and have had it installed on many machines in the past. I've never had any problems with it. It's simply an open source graphics program.
(meaning it's been written to be free and the programming code for it is available to anyone who wishes to add to it or just see how it works)
There's no malware or virus payload included with it if you get it from the delevlopment site www.gimp.org.

Here's an extract from their webite....

GIMP is Free Software and a part of the GNU Project. In the free software world, there is generally no distinction between users and developers. As in a friendly neighbourhood, everybody pitches in to help their neighbors. Please consider the time you give in assistance to others as payment.

Dont be afraid of it.. it works good!
