After drawing the Phoenix, I just felt like doing a digital painting from it.
The digital painting is done using GIMP and Wacom Intuos3.

For those interested, I had take a couple of intermediate screenshots. Head over to CGPainting.com thread to read through it – Phoenix – Painting thread.

This is a brief walkthrough on drawing a Phoenix. I will give the download links for XCF and PSD at the end.
Though Phoenix is a mythical creature, it still pays to study a bit of bird anatomy and work on other birds like peacock. Examine the above concept – though it is a bit complex, it is a bit easy when you break it down to simple structures.

This would be a walkthrough on doinig a comic style illustration and coloring of one of my favourite subjet, dragon. Mecha Dragon or armored dragon to be specific.
I do some brainstorming, directly into GIMP. I want a A4 size colored illustration at 300 dpi at the end of this. Hence, I create a new canvas (GIMP has a preset), and then scale it down by 25%. Then I start off by drawing compositional lines – a spiral composition with the eye at positioned at one of the one third point.
I actually do a couple of these and choose one of the designs that I liked and start detailing it a bit.
Once I am pretty confident with the sketch, I scale up by 400% to bring it back to A4 at 300dpi, and start with a lineart in a new layer.
