      LethalChris Drawing ... liked your video! Very ilustrative and pretty .. gonna try it. A suggestion: please draw something in black and white, with saturared intense black in the background. I would like to know what type of charcoal and or graphite pencil or bars you will use. Thank you. Greetings from Mexico.

    I'm always curious about your design process for your dragon drawings. Showing how you come up with designing any fantasy creature intrigues me. I'd love to hear/see your process about pulling ideas from imagination and/or combining references for the basis of the image. I adore your dragons, but when I go to design my own I feel lost - do I start with dinosaur/dog/horse/animal structure anatomy and go from there with a theme (such as floral adornments, like your "jungle" dragon)? I'd love to just see your process for any theme dragon. It would be amazing to see you start with sketching out components/types of scales/elements/body shape/color ideas etc. Thanks for your consideration, I adore your work :)

    Wow! I found you as I work with pastels and I'm currently drawing my first bear, a kodiak bear which I made some changes to from the picture I was using, however I was having so much trouble getting his eyes and nose right and no matter where I searched I couldn't find an artist working with the same materials I was using on a close up bear. In my search I found your bear drawing and you helped so much I managed to finally get them right on my own drawing! Then I saw this video as I love all animals but have a few favourites whales being one of them so I had to watch! You make it look so easy! I drew cartoons etc as a kid then didn't draw again for a good 15 years till I was having my daughter and hand drew all the characters on her nursery walls and painted them, I chose the jungle book as everyone was using winnie the pooh etc at that time and I wanted to be different. After that I didn't draw again until I had fought a long and tiresome battle with cancer starting when my daughter was just 3. I beat the cancer but was very ill with radiation poisoning from my treatment which left me with massive internal damage, spinal damage and chronic pain. After being stuck in bed for years on and off a year and a half ago (13 and half years after my illness started) I decided I was going to teach myself to draw more realistic things, mainly animals as that's what I love. Since I started a year and a half ago I've done over a dozen Commissions, but at the moment I'm not taking anything on as I'm now battling kidney failure, so I'm doing drawings for my portfolio on the days I'm well enough to be able to get up and spend time at my drawing table.
    I find your art just amazing and love to watch you draw animals. I'd love to see you draw a jaguar/black leopard, an animal I have a special meaning with. Keep up your art its just wonderful to watch.
